Synopsis. In October , the handsome young David Sparsholt arrives in Oxford. A keen athlete and oarsman, he at first seems unaware of the effect he has on others – particularly on the lonely and romantic Evert Dax, son of a celebrated novelist and destined to become a writer himself. While the Blitz rages in London, Oxford exists at a strange remove: an ephemeral, uncertain place, in which nightly blackouts conceal secret liaisons. “The Sparsholt Affair,” his formally inventive and frequently gorgeous new novel, begins in typical Hollinghurst territory: with a beautiful young man and the young men who are enchanted with him. The Sparsholt Affair is Alan Hollinghurst's sixth novel, and like his previous two -- the Man Booker Prize–winning The Line of Beauty and, subsequently, The Stranger's Child-- the story travels through a series of eras, capturing in each the nature of gay life in England. That, at least, would be one way to describe these works: another would be to say that, like them, the present novel follows the repercussions and echoes of earlier deeds or events over time.
