Review of The Folding Star, by Alan Hollinghurst. Kirkus Reviews LXII, No. 13 (1 July 1994): 871.

Brief plot summary and critique of The Folding Star.

Shone, Tom. "Manners Maketh Boy?" The Spectator 272, No. 8655 (28 May 1994): 38.

Mixed assessment of The Folding Star. Shone praises Hollinghurst's portrait of his gay protagonist as well-defined, but laments the novel's focus on history: "How can someone who has single-handedly done so much to put a contemporary gay sensibility on the map, not find enough adventure in exploring it?"
