...can’t imagine Hollinghurst ever trading it for the campaign stump. During our conversation and his Brattle Theater book discussion, the novelist avoids long eye contact and gives the impression of being folded shut in spite of his magnificent posture. The right angles of his silvering haircut and goatee intensify his wide, round eyes, rendering him by turn ingenuous, nervous, or boyishly elated. Externals aside, Hollinghurst suffers another setback: he refuses to keep track of his own credentials. He never re-reads his publications, and by now claims to forget most of “The Swimming Pool...

...goers only interested in the celebrity of Van Gogh’s self-portrait and the Bernini sketch collection, the photography is surprisingly compelling, with emotionally raw prints that compose a time capsule of social changes and events of the 20th century.

...only lately been resolved. "I was in the wilderness for a few years, so there was a natural antagonism within the band that people picked up on. Now the spirituality contained within the band is equal to all the members." Clayton, tan and muscular, with an army recruit's haircut and a pair of steel-rimmed spectacles that makes him look like an insurrectionist with a bass instead of a bomb, remains U2's most sulfurous presence, lending a slight but leveling tension to the stage show. Still, the band's fervor comes from deep springs, not simply from sheer...
