Gutter Bookshop are delighted to welcome author Alan Hollinghurst, the Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of Beauty, as he discusses his new book Our Evenings with Donald Clarke. Our Evenings is a dark, luminous and wickedly funny portrait of modern England through the lens of one man's acutely observed and often unnerving experience. It is a story of race and class, theatre and sexuality, love and the cruel shock of violence, from one of the finest writers of our age. Centered around the lives of two boys - Dave Win, as the recipient of a scholarship at his local boarding school and Giles, wealthy son of his sponsors. Encountering each other for the first time at aged 13 during a weekend visit to their home, Dave is exposed to Giles' envy and violence. As their lives unfold over the next half a century, the two boys' careers will diverge dramatically: Dave, a gifted actor struggling with convention and discrimination, Giles an increasingly powerful and dangerous politician. Our Evenings is Dave Win's own account of his life as a schoolboy and student, his first love affairs and career, and a late-life affair, which transforms his sixties with a new sense of happiness and a perilous security. Lauded as one of his finest novels to date, don’t miss this opportunity to hear Alan and journalist Donald Clarke explore the topics of the book in a live interview in the wonderful setting of Dublin’s Unitarian Church. Donald Clarke is the chief film correspondent, a feature writer and a regular columnist for The Irish Times. He is also a frequent contributor to RTÉ radio shows such as Arena and the Brendan O’Connor Show.

It was very good. I drank a pint of beer on the top floor without even paying for peanuts. It was different from the previous brewery tour in Boston, except that I could enter the workshop.

The most worthwhile attraction in Dublin, there are three worthwhile attractions: the first is the Book of Kells, which is the national treasure of Ireland, but you must listen to the audio guide, otherwise you will not understand the preciousness of this scripture; the second is the library gallery, which is the filming location of the Harry Potter movie, and it is also very quaint and unique; the third is the oldest harp in Ireland. In general, the tour is very exciting, the small disadvantage is that the price of Ctrip is slightly more expensive than the local ticket price, and the cost performance is not very high.

Dublin Castle has a long royal history and the attractions are worth visiting. The ticket price is only 8 euros (6 euros for those over 60 years old). However, the ticket price on Ctrip for those over 60 years old is 160 yuan, which is 3 times the price on site. It is too expensive!!! It has affected my high trust and good impression of Ctrip!!!

This Catholic church in Dublin has a long history and is a landmark building in Dublin. Both the inside and the outside are very exquisitely built.

Ireland belongs to the temperate marine climate zone, so the vegetation coverage rate is very high. This green color, from south to north, from east to west, covers the island country, clear and transparent like emerald. The green of Ireland is fascinating, but the weather in Ireland is very depressing. When I came here, everyone said a joke that it rains 300 days out of 365 days in Ireland. One of my colleagues once talked about the weather in Ireland with a taxi driver. The driver said that God gave Ireland such a beautiful coat, and if he gave it good weather, it would be envied by the world.
