商品描述内容简介Here are the interlocking affairs of four men: Robin Woodfield, an architect in his late forties trying to build an idyllic life in Dorset with his young lover, Justin, a would-be actor increasingly disenchanted with the countryside; Robin's attractive and dangerously volatile twenty-two-year-old son Danny; and Justin's former boyfriend Alex, whose life is unexpectedly transformed by a night of house music and a tab of ecstasy.
As each falls under the spell of romance or drugs, country living or rough trade, a richly ironic picture emerges of the illusions of love, and of the clashing imperatives of modern gay life: the hunger for contact and the fear of commitment, the need for permanence and the continual disruptions of sex. Ultimately, TheSpelldetails the restlessness of every human heart.作者简介Alan Hollinghurst's first novel,The Swimming-Pool Library, was one of the most highly praised first novels to appear in the 1980s. In 1993 Hollinghurst was selected byGrantaas one of the Best Young British Novelists. His second novel,The Folding Star, was short-listed for the Booker Prize.
