...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.

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.
