His two vividly contrasting love affairs, one with a young black clerk and one with a Lebanese millionaire, dramatize the dangers and rewards of his own private pursuit of beauty, a pursuit as compelling to Nick as the desire for power and riches among his friends. Richly textured, emotionally charged, disarmingly comic, this is a major work by one of our finest writers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Hollinghurst \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Swimming-Pool Library\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Spell\u003c\/i\u003e.
