is not harbinger of joy, but of pain, of never satisfied longings, and of never integrated life...

But we all, deep down at the bottom of our beings-there where we commune with the eternal source of all knowledge, all power, all understanding we know that it is not so; yes, we know better. We know that if the Garys and the Pauls of Aubade have not learned that homosexuality is joy and creation and integration of one's whole being, that does not mean at all that their failure must be erected, through the power of art, in archetype of all failures befalling such relationships.

Kenneth Martin, the author of Aubade, has chosen to depict two immature individuals, and it is in the light of this immaturity, that their actions

must be judged. Thus if they fail to achieve, happiness, peace, and integration, the lesson that it is to be derived from the reading of Aubade is not that homosexuality will give neither peace, nor happiness, and will always fail to lead to the integration of one's own personality, but that all the good of homosexuality-a good which outweighs by far the good of heterosexuality will accrue to him who is ready for it.

This is why I began the review of Aubade on that sad note: we don't need such books at the present stage of homosexuality's affirmation in the world: we need positive, inspiring books. The others can come later, when homosexuality, having gained the light of the sun, can be dissected in all its tortuous by-paths. B. R. Vitale
