Book Description
Neither Brian nor Sandra knew whether there was a longer palindrome than 'a man a plan a canal Panama', but they did know that the country in this palindrome was well worth a visit. Not only did it house a whole treasure-house of wildlife riches, but it also had that extremely well-known canal. Furthermore, it presented them with the opportunity to travel through this canal on a splendid catamaran with just a handful of other people. So, off they both went to discover for themselves what Panama held, and how far this isthmus nation matched up to their guide book's description. Was it all green and lovely or was it a bit more 'lived-in' in certain respects? Oh, and was that canal all it was cracked up to be? Well, A Man a Plan a Canal Panama answers these questions – and does a hell of a lot more. For example, it examines the hardships Brian suffered as a result of his being billeted in a giant Coke can and the discomfiture he endured from having to dance with a half-naked (full-breasted) girl. Then there is what others had to ensure as a result of his habit of sounding off about all sorts of stuff, including the devaluation of degrees and the raising of the voting age to thirty-two. And various other similarly unprejudiced ideas...

Before 1914, traveling from the East Coast to the West Coast meant going by land across the entire United States.

Book Description
Quentin Fournier, a disinherited New Orleans wanderer, signs up for work on the Panama Canal in 1904. His skills in giving pleasure to other men soon become legendary. Written in 1957, the novella is surprisingly modern in its graphic descriptions of male sexuality. Quentin locates men who are anatomically blessed to the point of a curse. When Quentin breaks the spell, it is explosive.This early work of erotic fiction was written by the author in the summer of 1957. The story draws partly from his early memories of Panama, when his father moved the family to the Culebra Cut. Penis size was an obsession for Peter. Enduring pain for another's pleasure is the overarching theme of this work, whereby the act of giving oneself to another is the goal, not the orgasms, which are mere side effects. Peter himself had a reputation for being extraordinarily well endowed. In this story, the narrative focuses on Quentin Fournier, a man with a less than average endowment. Friends remarked that Peter lost many potential love interests because of his large penis. Dale Clark, who appears later in the story, is likely a narrative self portrait of the author. Sadly, no one like Quentin could be identified in Peter's life. The anatomically compatible couple living out their years together in San Francisco at the end of the story was pure fiction. Peter never found a lasting love.
