A mid-life coming-of-age story charting art historian Don Lamb’s sexual awakening and fall from grace amid the anarchic art and gay scenes of 1990s London.
An exquisite debut novel. A mid-life coming-of-age story charting one man's sexual awakening and his spectacular fall from grace in 1990s London. For fans of Allan Hollinghurst and Edward St Aubyn.
Exiled from his university position for an inexcusable blunder, art historian Don Lamb flees to London, a city alive with sex and creativity. There, over the course of a long, hot summer, as he is immersed in the anarchic art and gay scenes of the mid-90s, Don sees his carefully curated life irrevocably changed.
But his epiphany is also a reckoning, as his unexamined past is revealed to him in a devastating new light.

I’ve gone from being worried about having no work to being overwhelmed with how to schedule it and having to turn stuff down. Such is freelance life! I’m worried about some of the schedule as I know how tired I get already (I fell asleep at my laptop this week!) but I also know I will be back in a period of uncertainty come December as I’ll lose a lot of students around that time. I’m…

#OTD in 1920 – Birth of Joe Cahill, a prominent Irish Republican and former Chief of Staff of the Provisional IRA.

A very sweet family movie about family and community #christmasoncherrylane #jonathanbennett #catherinebell #erincahill #jamesdenton #johnbrotherton #movies #christmasmovies🎄 #kirkwoodealeswatches #lgbt #hallmark
Some might have considered the fact that, after padding the script using several metric tons of pure unadulterated tedium, they still couldn't quite make this thing an hour long, and come to the conclusion that this was a bad idea. Not so whoever made this movie, though, they persevered in the face of all common sense and reason, and now we get to suffer for their mistake.
A repressed art historian expands his horizons in a 90s-set novel that moves from campus satire to something queerer in every sense of the word.
Ben turns and grins ironically. ‘When you stopped just now and looked at the sky, you weren’t measuring it. You weren’t thinking about classical proportion. You were feeling something.’
Cambridge, 1994. Professor Don Lamb is a revered art historian at the height of his powers, consumed by the book he is writing about the skies of the Venetian master Tiepolo. However, his academic brilliance belies a deep inexperience of life and love.
When an explosive piece of contemporary art is installed on the lawn of his college, it sets in motion Don’s abrupt departure from Cambridge to take up a role at a south London museum. There he befriends Ben, a young artist who draws him into the anarchic 1990s British art scene and the nightlife of Soho.
Over the course of one long, hot summer, Don glimpses a liberating new existence. But his epiphany is also a moment of self-reckoning, as his oldest friendship – and his own unexamined past – are revealed to him in a devastating new light. As Don’s life unravels, he suffers a fall from grace that that shatters his world into pieces.
