Laatste Ronde! Saving Awful Afternoons in Dutch pubs
Saving awful afternoons in Dutch pubs I won’t be the only person who has found themselves at the end of the odd, wild, divulgence from strangers in pubs and cafes.

Flower Factory
Flower Factory: A Fairy TaleBy Richard Foster Freedom of Movement wasn’t always an alien concept to the British. Flower Factory tells of an English seasonal worker going to live and work in the Netherlands at the turn of the millennium. These psyched-out remembrances are set in the Bollenstreek of South Holland, an area that produces flower bulbs by the billion. Casual workers from all over Europe created their own ecosystem of squats, parties and alternative living practices around the working seasons, raving hard and living for the weekly pay packet. In the year 2000 it seemed nothing would change in this free-and-easy land, but the narrator witnessed the last beating of the 24 Hour Party drum. Featuring original line illustrations by the author, this surreally comic and immersive novel is a dreamlike snapshot of life in Europe just two decades ago: the book shines a lurid light on a world that's difficult to recognise today.
