Title: Nig-Nog?
Review: One wishing to learn about racism in the gay community would do well by reading the collected novels of Mr. Hollinghurst. The graphically brutal rape of the white protagonist by the black cook near the end of The Swimming Pool Library is disturbing; but no less so than Hollinghurst's gratituous use of racial slurs and the stereotypical depiction of the "black" council clerk, Leo, in this contemporary "masterpiece".Not my cup of tea.
