Alistair Y Stowe

This is Alistair Y. Stowe, he reads books ... mostly books he has read before. The most recent book he gave a first-read was Albrecht Drechsler's "Tremor of the Almonds" (Knopf, New York, 2015) which won the "Gloesner" that year. He had an excellent public school education followed by reading Art and History at Cambridge. For a while, after graduation, he joined an organization dedicated to putting things on top of other things, but then he went back to reading books. Alistair has always been confused about his sexuality until that unusually warm 1990 November night in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin) when in a small bar he met Elke Pfaff. What Elke did to him, first in the alley behind the bar and then, for the rest of the night in her Bornholmer Strasse apartment, left Alistair confused noch mehr - even more.
