naud, now Cecile's Maurice. Perhaps your favorite incident in the life of Claudine has been omitted, but if you read Colette only from the viewpoint of a peculiarly catholic voyeurist you should not be too disappointed. As Colette was necessarily selective in what she took from her own life to lend flesh and bones

to Claudine, so our author has been selective in what she took from Claudine. That selectivity seems to have been governed by an eye firmly fixed on the elements most apt to appeal to the lowest common mentality. Brooke Whitney

FOR MEMBERS ONLY

NEW BOOKS:

THE PROBLEM OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN MODERN SOCIETY, an anthology edited by Hendrik M. Ruitenbeek, E. P. Dutton, $4.95

An important work with unusually astute observations in the editor's introduction. Almost a first-rate book. Contents include Evelyn Hooker, Robert Lindner, Sigmund Freud, etc.

THE WHISTLING ZONE by Herbert Kubly, Simon & Schuster, $4.95.

A novel of intrigue giving a view of life on a mid-western university campus. The homosexuality is present only through accusation and innuendo in this book, but it is a fair presentation of academic life.

THE HOMOSEXUAL AND HIS SOCIETY: a View from Within by Donald Webster Cory, Citadel, $5.95.

To the un-informed this book could bring a little knowledge, but to the readers of ONE Magazine, this work will be a sad disappointment.

THE MESSENGER by Charles Wright, Farrar, Straus, $3.95.

A "work of fiction" which is a poor copy of Another Country, The Century God Slept, Naked Lunch, etc.

NOT SO NEW BOOKS:

WHAT IS REMEMBERED by Alice Toklas, Holt, $4.00.

Reminiscences of the author's friendship with Gertrude Stein. Many photos.

ANOTHER COUNTRY by James Baldwin, Dial, $5.95.

A novel still worth reading by the author of Giovanni's Room in which barriers of prejudice, both racial and sexual, are broken down by love.

FIVE WOMEN WHO LOVED LOVE by Ihara Saikaku, Charles Tuttle, $3.50. A good choice for a gift.
