The Red Light District: Stories from the Red Light District
Stories from the red light district.
Maya Detiège ran a pharmacy for many years in the heart of Antwerp's notorious red light district. As a confidant, she was initiated into the secrets of this exceptional district and witnessed funny but also dramatic scenes. In this book, she tells about the extreme wishes with which clients approach the prostitutes, about the fierce competition between the whores, about the colorful characters who hang out on the fringes of the rye district, about the hint of criminality that hangs around prostitution and of course about the bizarre questions about orders that she was confronted with in her practice.
The Red Light District is a gripping and moving book that takes you into the fascinating world behind the display windows and neon lights.
