Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dock Walloper: The Story of Big Dick Butler
Big dick butler is an original living character right out of Hell's Kitchen who is not to be confused with Trader Horn, Baron Munchausen or Sinbad the Sailor. What he relates is the gospel truth, mellowed and strengthened by age like the whisky of which he is so fond.
What a memory the man has! He remembers not only the nice things that prim people store away among their souvenirs, but a variety of happenings that are startling, indiscreet and highly unethical. Why, the man has no shame, you will say; and correct you are. Dick Butler lost his conscience in the cradle and he never regained it. He didn't even try to find it. In politics and the dock walloper's rough and ready world, he quickly learned a conscience was no great help to progress.
