Autumn on Lange Straat
2023 || Paperback || Guy Wilson || Brave New Books
It is a truth rarely acknowledged that a middle-aged English man, disinterested and diminished by life on the small island, could do worse than run away and marry an Amsterdam drag queen. There is, of course, much more to the story.

‘A memoir to die for.’
