«Run out to the airport» indeed, I thought well, one is only young once. And reading the third sentence I realized we neither of us even knew each. other's name it had just never arisen. Nor, I suddenly remembered, had the

word love ever been mentioned between us.

By the side of the note lay his white beach shorts. I put them on, and trying to imagine they conveyed to me some of the grace of their owner, I lay down and slept again till late.

...New Book from Pan-Graphic

Gay Episodes that shed new light on social customs of 'Dickest Africa," written by one who has traveled from Casablanca to Cairo to Capetown. Harry Otis, author of The Koyal and Other Gay Advenmrez, does it again. In Camel's Farewell you'll go with him to the Berber Caramite Bazases of Khartoum; to the Omais Puck in Cambianca; to Djeme al Fud ('Meeting Place of the Dead"), a central aquære in Marrakech, where young boys of delicate beauty, and lavish vitality bring high prices from Sultmas and Shieks. Then on to Victoda Falls, Durban and Eabowe, capiml of Zululand—all the while peeking into narrow streets, palm-shaded packs, jeweled palaces, to watch people who lahabk them seek life's simple pleasures without repression. Mr. Odia has a rare glå for meeting unusual men and women: Jansen, a Swedish youth in Rome; Mama, -a pompous Nebraska matron noaking up the sights in Madrid; Mercedes, a fabulous madam in Belem whose house catered to big names from the English-speaking would-these are here with many ochers. You'll meet Uncle Choab in a flowing white boumous; Lou and Drew, the Heavenly Twing Viaza, the Fasimba, and dozens of others—all lareusely kuman, and direct in their approach and understanding of life.

Through it all, Mr. Otis has injected warm humor and taken jibes at

the faibles, repressions and frustracions which are so close bome to

us in this country. There is noching to match his percepcion of human

dives and mocivations regardless of the hemisphere he is visidag.

While the work is fiction, the social and sexual customs described

are not. And while the episodes dwell in the realm of the "off beng,"

don't think Camel's Førewell details isolated incidents only-caber it goes deep into the fabric of cultures where adult humans are pos-

sibly much more free of themselves than some of us may be in the "more civilized" societies.
