Krátky popis
'Razor-sharp and deeply unsettling while being endlessly
entertaining. A triumph.' JENNIE GODFREY, author of THE LIST OF
SUSPICIOUS THINGS'A delicious, literary feast. A wickedly funny and
sharply relevant novel of duplicity and betrayal with a glittering
cast of literary greats.' ANNA MAZZOLA, author of THE BOOK OF
SECRETS'A masterful novel, OBJECTS OF DESIRE is utterly
irresistible, it?s dark and wickedly fun.One of my favourite books
of the year so far.' FLORA CARR, author of THE TOWER'A biting,
unflinching study of art and deceit . . .Neil Blackmore has
achieved his best work yet.' ANNIE GARTHWAITE, author of
CECILY***Hugo Hunter was the most celebrated gay novelist of the
20th century. He published two masterpieces, securing his place
alongside the dazzling literary greats of the 1950s, 60s and 70s,
and rubbing shoulders with everyone from Truman Capote to James
Baldwin, Gore Vidal and George Orwell. But after decades of fame
and excess, just as New York City enters the 1980s and awakes to
the coming horror of AIDS, Hugo finds himself running out of
money.Out of nowhere, he receives an extraordinary lifeline: an
offer from his longtime publisher. Two million dollars, for a
memoir and a new novel. The money will solve all his problems ?
except for one thing.Hugo Hunter is an imposter. He stole both of
his novels. Now, how far will he go to produce a third?At once
dark, moving and deliciously vicious, OBJECTS OF DESIRE traverses
the 20th century, featuring an astonishing cast of characters.It is
both a colourful glimpse into the lives of the cultural elite, and
a tense, gripping story of betrayal, deceit, and literary fraud.
***Praise for Neil Blackmore'An astounding story . .&,nbsp,. I
relished every page.' SIR IAN McKELLAN'One of the most original
voices in historical fiction today.' THE TIMES'Compellingly real.'
