Echoing Voices by John Harris
John Harris continues his memoirs, drawing together incidents and adventures. We hear of his antics during his short apprenticeship at Heal's. He shudders at the horrors of the Hazelwood Chuckle House, travels to Czechoslovakia and discovers the glories of a decayed baroque suite of apartments.
Echoing Voices confirms Harris s reputation as a superb raconteurMore importantly, it reminds us of the joy of going to see for oneself, and the thrill of the serendipitous discovery. Trespassing has never been so romantic - Literary Review
