A review by sglesby
The Swimming-Pool Library by Alan Hollinghurst
4.0
probably one of the more brutal, insane books i’ve read in a while. The ending does an extremely tidy job of ironing out all the things that potentially bugged me about this book (spec. the narrator). The dynamics in the book between sexuality and race are... uncomfy and i am unsure whether this was because of the narrators subjectivity or the author’s own view.
This must be like what all the baby boomers felt like while they watched Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and sharon tate was on screen, but instead of murder, it’s the threat of the AIDS crisis. I was scared shitless the whole time
