"Palindrome" by Losgud (humping the bitch) 10, 10, 10
"Palindrome" by Losgud (lushgod@hotnomail.com). A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same backward or forward. For example, the first man in the Garden of Eden allegedly introduced himself to his spouse by saying, "Madam I'm Adam." And Napoleon is supposed to have uttered, "Able was I ere I saw Elba." Exactly why this story is entitled "Palindrome" I'll leave up to you to discover. The basic plot consists of the narrator and his friend doing business with Fidel Castro in Cuba. His friend brings along his trophy girlfriend, who exudes reciprocal feelings of contempt for our narrator. But when the friend goes back to the States to wrap up the details, our narrator sort of finalizes things on the Island. The story is stuffed full of clever business details - probably enough to drive some readers crazy; but I liked the cleverness. The sex is perhaps bizarre but very hot. I really enjoyed this story.
