Christopher and His Kind isn’t the type of book I’d usually pick up, slow, non-fiction with older language and a chunkier text but I genuinely grew to enjoy this one the further and further I got into it. You get a really good sense of Christopher as a person including his problematic attributes and it makes the book feel honest about the kind of person he is whilst informing you of his life. Admittedly the slowness of the book did get to me at times but ultimately what I found in Christopher and His Kind was a reflective and openly told story that still resonates in places and allows for reflection not only on the era of Christopher’s life that it depicts but also where we are now.
