Are these stories well-written? I guess so. They are certainly a product of their time. But this is a dick book. It oozes testosterone as sauce coats spaghetti. The implied author of these stories doesn't think much of women, either, which is too bad, considering how much he is obsessed with them. Sigh. -cg ( )
