"Walter wore one of those miniscule male bikinis that barely covered his genitalia, a style that was considered fashionable by European men but would probably lead to an arrest on any public beach in Connecticut. Men who wore such things apparently considered them sexy, Céleste thought, but they didn’t seem to realize that the molded outline of their floppy scrota was rather repulsive. Especially when, as was the case with Walter, their bulging bellies hung down like watermelons over the tight waistbands and made them look like pregnant women."
If you want to read the rest of the story, you'll have to buy the book when it comes out.
Wow! You're writing a novel! I will really look forward to reading it. I loved your memoir, the title of which escapes me at the moment, but you wrote about how you played with "the mens" at Preservation Hall. - Karen
