Darker Than Amber by John D. MacDonald

3.0

Better than most. Trav's disquisitions on "the Negro problem" unintentionally enlightening. Also he defends his homophobia in the most homophobic terms ever minted. And ye gods please with the comparisons of women and their body parts to machinery, animals, and architecture. Yet still I fall for the shambling grey-eyed retiree with his supposedly quick reflexes (though at this point I think he's lost more "broads" than he's saved). Need more Al-Anon meetings, stat.
