Alec 2021
Alec is an English-language novel written by playwright William di Canzio, published in 2021 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. The book contains 352 pages. It retells and continues the narrative of E. M. Forster's gay novel Maurice, originally composed between 1913 and 1914, then revised multiple times during Forster's life, and finally released posthumously in 1971. The story is told from the viewpoint of Alec Scudder, the working-class partner of Maurice's main character Maurice. Alexander Chee notes that Alec represents "the kind of novel Maurice could never be, full of sex and war, death and torture.
