The Swimming-Pool Library: A Novel (Lambda Literary Award) Paperback - 1989
by Alan Hollinghurst
This controversial, darkly erotic novel of male homosexuality and promiscuity before the scourge of AIDS was "easily one of the year's (1988) most important debuts".
From the jacket flap
A literary sensation and bestseller both in England and America, The Swimming-Pool Library is an enthralling, darkly erotic novel of homosexuality before the scourge of AIDS; an elegy, possessed of chilling clarity, for ways of life that can no longer be lived with impunity. "Impeccably composed and meticulously particular in its observation of everything" (Harpers & Queen), it focuses on the friendship of two men: William Beckwith, a young gay aristocrat who leads a life of privilege and promiscuity, and the elderly Lord Nantwich, an old Africa hand, searching for someone to write his biography and inherit his traditions.
