\nSummary provided by the publisher:
\nDave Win\, the son of a British dressmaker and a Burmese man he&rsqu o\;s never met\, is thirteen years old when he gets a scholarship to a top boarding school. With the doors of elite English society cracked open for him\, heady new possibilities lie before Dave\, even as he is exposed to the envy and viciousness of his wealthy classmates\, above all that of Gil es Hadlow\, whose worldly parents sponsored the scholarship and who find i n Dave someone they can more easily nurture than their brutish son.
\n< p>Our Evenings follows Dave from the 1960s on&mdash\;through the possibili ties that remained open for him\, and others that proved to be illusory: a s a working-class brown child in a decidedly white institution\; a young m an discovering queer culture and experiencing his first\, formative love a ffairs\; a talented but often overlooked actor\, on the road with an exper imental theater company\; and an older Londoner whose late-in-life marriag e fills his days with an unexpected sense of happiness and security.\n https://lacountylibrary.libnet.info/event/12310276 URL;VALUE=URI:https://lacountylibrary.libnet.info/event/12310276 ATTACH:https://static.libnet.info/images/events/lacountylibrary/our_evenin gs_square.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
