The Daily Telegraph.
‘’ Berlin Bromley is a guide to transforming one’s misfit status, Into fully blown cultural terrorism ‘’.

Hey Mister, Just bought your new book, can't wait to start it!, but I'm in graduate school now, so have to wait until September, when I have a month off of school. I will be back in NYC for a while then. I just celebrated my 40th, and can't believe it was 10 years ago that we celebrated my 30th at Hooters. I still have the skull ring you gave me. xo, horace
Hi Bertie A big thankyou again for being such a star at Polari last night. Your teenage diary had us all in stitches. Truly bona dear. Big kiss, Paul x
