The Lady in the Van by Alan Bennett
Also this bit made me scream:
"On one occasion Coral Browne was coming away from the house with her husband, Vincent Price, and they were talking quietly. 'Pipe down,' snapped the voice from the van, 'I'm trying to sleep.' For someone who had brought terror to millions it was an unexpected taste of his own medicine."

I just finished watching The Lady in the van and it was absolutely splendid. Alan Bennett the author that you are.

Film vs. Carte: The lady in the van
Imediat ce am terminat de parcurs scurtul volum autobiografic al lui Alan Bennett, am vrut să vizionez și filmul realizat în anul 2015. Am descoperit o poveste împletită cu fantezie, făcând viața lui M. Shepherd cu atât mai spectaculoasă.

The Lady in the Van by Alan Bennett
"I was hoping for some clue as to what it was that had happened to make Miss Shepherd want to live like this. Except I kept coming across items that suggested that living 'like this' wasn't all that different from the way people ordinarily lived."
Love this book. Just finished reading it for the second time. This particular passage made me think of the people experiencing housing insecurity whom I've met while working in various customer service positions: Michael, who always brings other people to check out our museum; Cornell, who always ordered his coffee with equal parts espresso and cream; Patrick, who disappeared for a while, and then came back to tell us he had got an apartment.
It's just a genuinely delightful, and ultimately touching account.
