extensive background of investigation for conclusions which can never be authoritarian absolutes. Certainly this procedure is in harmony with the most modern concept of rational thinking.

CHECKLIST & SUPPLEMENT 1961 & SUPPLEMENT 1962, M. Z. Bradley, Texas, $3.30 complete.

Future homophile literary historians and researchers are going to have an enormous job when they come to our period's huge upsurge. Their salvation will come from Miss Bradley's work, by far the best and most complete listing of homophile literature to date. Starting with Astra's Tower Special Leaflets #1, 2, and 3 for the years 1958 and 1959

now out of print-the work has grown considerably and now consists of three mimeographed booklets: the original 69 page CHECKLIST of 1960, the 1961 and now the 1962 SUPPLEMENT. It is hoped co-editors Marion Zimmer Bradley and Gene Damon continue this invaluable contribution.

A unique facet is a section dealing with homosexuality in films. Another

is some of the delightfully personal, enthusiastic or acid-etched, pithy bookreviews printed.

THE SUPPLEMENTS are highly recommended for the literary. For the book collector, they are a must. A. E. Smith

THE SMALL ROOM by May Sarton, Norton & Co., 1961.

This is a novel of a young woman's first year teaching in a top-flight girls college. The lesbianism of world-famous, steel-minded, tweedy-with-heavyshoes Professor Carryl Cope and her elderly millionairess lover is assumed by all the other characters but only slightly referred to.

The writing is serious and competent but too fast, sketchy, and facile for the large hodgepodge faculty-andstudent cast, so oddly coupled with the obvious desire (and talent) to write of intense personal relationships. The portrait of Professor Cope has the germ of inspired writing, and one suspects that if the author had narrowed her cast and let herself go, she might have achieved the brilliant impressionism of Gale Wilhelm or the portrait of a wonderful Proustian female Baron Charlus.
