...into mere sermon or satire. But Hollinghurst and his fictitious alter-ego are far too smart for that.Instead, we meet a brilliant, insecure Oxford grad with an exacting, reverential, and eventually obsessive eye for beauty, whether found in the heights of a Gothic cathedral, the curves of his first lover, Leo, or the electric rush of cocaine. He finds it quite often in the work of his hero, Henry James. The consciously Jamesian touches of both Nick and the novel itself—the hero at once inside and outside a society, the incisive but never-misanthropic critic, the genuine...

Here’s hoping they drop the gimmicks on future projects, and that Adult Swim fans new to the hip-hop savants...
Having written plays with cheery names like The Birthday Party and The Lover that are in fact the opposite of cheery, HAROLD PINTER, 75, could be thought of as a bit of a downer. But there was nothing grim about his reaction to the news that he had won the Nobel Prize for Literature. The playwright told reporters he was "bowled over" by the $1.3 million award. He didn't mean it literally; the wound on his head came from a recent fall. Here's hoping we'll finally get a Pinteresque award-acceptance speech. Nothing says elation like tense...
