One of the first novels our merry band discussed, way back in April 2001 (shortly after I joined), was E.M. Forster's Maurice. Much more recently (July 2020), we had a lively session with Matthew Lopez's The Inheritance, an adaptation of another Forster classic, Howard's End. And now we have William di Canzio's Alec, which New York Times reviewer Manuel Betancourt says "aims to both complete and complement Maurice by picking up Forster's characters and thrusting them into the muck-riddled trenches of the Great War." (My thanks to Octavio Roca for flagging that review for me.) Color me intrigued!
