Espero's Star is a novel by Alan Hollinghurst published in 1994 that earned him the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction ever in the same year.
The novel is the story of a homosexual Englishman, Edward Manners, who tired of life moves to a town in Flanders where he teaches English to two students. One, Marcel, is good but ugly, while the other while being bad at the protagonist is profoundly beautiful. The narrative follows the rising relationship with Marcel's father, curator of a museum of iconic paintings by Edgard Orst (based on Fernand Khnopff and James Ensor). Editing the wikitesto editing
