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. Dave Win is thirteen years old when he first goes to stay with the sponsors of his scholarship at a local boarding school. This weekend, with its games and challenges and surprising encounters, will open up heady new possibilities, even as it exposes him to their son 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. \u003ci\u003eOur Evenings\u003c\/i\u003e is Dave Win’s own account of his life as a schoolboy and student, his first love affairs, in London, and on the road with an experimental theatre company, and of a late-life affair, which transforms his sixties with a new sense of happiness and a perilous security.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46528119472286,"sku":"TLD-9781035038534","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781035038534.jpg?v=1771477353","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781035038534","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
