“The worse they are the more they see beauty in each other.”
― Alan Hollinghurst, The Line of Beauty
― Alan Hollinghurst, The Line of Beauty
“Now he had chanced on one of he standard hard-on sessions of the shower, as on both sides of him and across the room three queens sported horizontal members which they turned around from time to time to conceal or display, barely exchanging looks as they resolved. The old men took no interest in this activity, knowing perhaps from long experience that it rarely meant anything or led anywhere, was a brief and helpless surrender to the forcing-house of the shower. In a few seconds the hard-on might pass from one end of the room to the other with the foolish perfection of a Busby Berkeley routine.”
― Alan Hollinghurst, The Swimming-Pool Library

“There was the noise itself, which he thought of vaguely as the noise of classical music, sameish and rhetorical, full of feelings people surely never had”
― Alan Hollinghurst, The Stranger's Child
