LGBT History Month: Alan Hollinghurst by Catherine Wilcox

To celebrate LGBT History Month 2020, the Department of English has produced this series of short films. In each film someone picks an LGBT writer who inspires them. We are releasing one film a day through February - 29 in all - a community of voices, reflecting just a fraction of the diversity and range of LGBT culture.
In today’s film, Catherine Wilcox, Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing, discusses British gay novelist Alan Hollinghurst, and how his novel The Swimming Pool Library helped her with her own writing.
