Bigger Than Life

A novel of high sexual adventure, introducing the broad-chested, herculean adventurer Travers Coogan and his incomparably voluptuous mistress, in their quest for the Diamond Dildo. The resulting tale will carry you on a wild chase through the world's most depraved and way-out sex spots: from the Street of a Thousand Women in Istanbul, to an orgy aboard a yacht in Greece, to Tokyo's swinging Ginza, to Europe's sadistic underground--and finally to the wildest scene of them all! Additional: This title was published as part of the short-lived Party Books series, a line dismissed by Olympia bibliographer Patrick Kearney as low-quality "fuck books," printed on "cheap paper." While we agree that the highest level of Olympian attentiveness wasn't always there, it strikes us that with this tale's contents, layout, and especially faux introduction Girodias and Co. were imitating their California competitors, specifically Brandon. It pains us to say this, but when Mr. Kearney dismisses a Pacific-inspired line of erotica so quickly, he may well be guilty of East Coast smut bias.
