All his worlds collide—the art scene and academia, fashion and the English aristocracy, journalism and the internet—as dangerous forces enter his life and Caledonian Road gives up its secrets. Andrew O’Hagan has written a social novel in the Victorian style, drawing a whole cast of characters into company with each other and revealing the inner energies of the way we live now. Show more
