Oliver’s Reviews > The Queer Dutchman > Status Update

I’m getting an icky feeling. They waterboarded the confession, so it’s possible he only confessed to stop the torture and didn’t actually do it. If he did do it, he deserved to be abandoned on an island, not because he was queer but because his “lover” was the mess boy, described as young and innocent. Even worse, when he first denied the allegations, he said he had a father-son relationship with the boy.

I found this at an antique store when I was in college. It’s crazy that it only has 14 ratings on Goodreads. My goal is 5 pages a day to finish by the end of September, but I’m guessing I’ll finish a lot quicker than that.
