- Queer
Dutchman
- Peter Agnos / Paperback / Published 1979
The Queer Dutchman is a fascinating tale, appalling for the suffering it
describes. It tells the story of a Dutch sailor set ashore alone on Ascension
Island in 1725, after being accused of an affair with a boy. The book contains
his daily journal written on this barren and uninhabited island "found
beside his skeleton," which recounts his finally fruitless search for water
during five months.
