Alan Hollinghurst’s The Sparsholt Affair is his warmest, funniest novel, and a masterpiece.
If you can’t wait till it appears in local bookstores, it’s available at online bookstores.
My friend and I have this game in which we cast the roles in a film adaptation.
“Armie Hammer as David Sparsholt.”
“Too American. Henry Cavill.”
“Armie can learn a British accent.”
“Henry is already British.”
And so on.
