Alan Hollinghurst

What is the point of Alan Hollinghurst?

To produce a parody of a gay writer's oeuvre

 before they became queer;

producing pastiches of the novels of those

English gentlemen of Oxbridge

too old by then or too dead to bugger him when he was young.

That is the point of Alan Hollinghurst -

a parody on two legs, producing bourgeois fiction

so nauseatingly ready for BBC to produce that

Andreï Makine could be his French pseudonym.

A fine English piece of chalk pretending to be marble.
