«Hope» is the contemporary fiction novel by Glen Duncan, published by Penguin in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Gabriel, a cultured and sensitive young graduate, feels trapped between his addiction to pornography and the memory of the love he shared with Alicia; he finds relief only in his encounters with Hope, a high-class prostitute. The novel explores male sexuality, obsession, and the destructive power of desire in contemporary London.
Hope is Glen Duncan's first novel, originally published by Viking in 1997; Penguin reprinted it in 1998.
For readers of literary and contemporary fiction; the work belongs to the tradition of the confessional novel.
