BBC to adapt Booker Winner
The BBC is to adapt and screen Alan Hollinghurst's 2004 Booker Prize winning novel next year.
The Line of Beauty tells the story of a gay postgraduate living in heady days of 1980s London.
The book fought off stiff competition from David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas and Colm Toibin's The Master to win the 2004 literary prize.
Screenwriter Andrew Davies is also responsible for successfully adapting classics like Pride and Prejudice, Vanity Fair, Dr. Zhivago and most recently Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet.
The television version of The Line of Beauty will be shown on BBC2 next Autumn.
