Ignominia 54. Italy

from Europe to the end of China and back. While I like the Red Rooster account this was a bit of a rehash of the scene, except that now instead of the Charge Schmarney schtick sentence we had Wanna BANG BANG? from motorcycled prostitutes. I found his insisting to the reader that he was too good to hire a prostitute becasue he loved his wife unbelievable, especially on a trip lasting months. Who cares and why are you telling me that? And why so much of the book deals with prostitutes if not becasue he is a little obsessed for not yealding to his needs...
Sorry Paul, you sounded a bit too puritanic on this trip.

A true story of two people whose lives crossed at the beginning of last century. A Portrait of England of the period and of two people; the first the anonymous victim of injustice and prejudice, the second the famous writer Arthur Conan Doyle who defended and partially exculpated him. A well researched description of the costumes and mores of the era; an apt study of their personalities and the circumstances that caused their actions.
