SHIFT IN SCHEDULE AHEAD FOR REVIEW

next on newsstands by the January 1961 issue, due out just before Christmas. But for regular subscribers a special "Christmas Issue" will be produced and mailed in December, making the regular 12 copies for the year. Not since the REVIEW's first year (1955) has there been such a special edition. There will be fiction and other entertainment features in this special number. Newsstand purchasers may also obtain it by mail order for 50 cents per copy, since it will be unavailable to them otherwise. It will be included in bound volumes,

Mattachine REVIEW will appear in a slightly shifted schedule for the remainder of 1960. This issue, dated November-December, will be followed of course.

Homophilic BIBLIOGRAPHY

The following installment concludes this special feature which has been published intermittently for the past three years. The main part of the bibliography, which began in the March 1958 issue, has seen titles identified in accordance with a set of symbols published at that time. These symbols are repeated below in order to make the more recent installments of greater value to readers. Sometime during 1961 Mattachine REVIEW hopes to publish the complete bibliography in a single booklet.

The order will be alphabetical by author. Since the majority of the works deal with male homosexuality exclusively, no further identification is needed in such cases. Works dealing with female homosexuality are indicated by a single asterisk (*), and those dealing with both male and female homosexuality are preceded by two asterisks (**). The author's name will be followed by the title and then a parenthetical notation to indicate the type of work as follows:

n-novel

ss-short story, followed by the title of the collection in which it appears. d-drama

p-poetry

biog-biography or biographical material such as letters, memoirs, biographical comments, etc. When the title of the work does not make clear the identity of the subject, this will also be indicated. No attempt at completeness has been made in this category; only works of particular interest or unusual value are included. For example, the hundreds of essays, studies and biographies of Tchaikowsky are represented by only a few significant ones here.

fb-fictionalized biography

nf-miscellaneous non-fiction materialssuch as essays, special studies, certain personal and historical accounts which do not qualify as biographical material, etc.

I-works in which homosexuality is only implied, suggested, or presented in a

veiled fashion.

Il-works in which homosexuality, while appearing in clear-cut fashion, plays only a minor part, or in which a minor character is a homosexual.

III-works which include a major or important homosexual episode, or in which a major character is a homosexual.

mattachine REVIEW

IV-works dealing primarily with homosexuality, or in which homosexuality is is the most important theme. 0-indicates the work has not been examined by any of the compilers, but is believed to contain pertinent material.

Classifying a work as 1,,,or IV has proved to be a most difficult task in a number of instances, for it was not unusual for strong disagreements to arise among the compilers. The same passage would be declared by one to be absolutely, clearly and definitely homosexual in nature; by another, veiled to the point of unrecognizability. As a result, a residual element of personal opinion has been unavoidable in several cases. In class I will also be found a few of such works as Melville's MOBY DICK which were kept in this bibliography in deference to highly-respected scholars of an earlier day who may have seen implications that the jaded, or more demanding eye of the modern reader falls to notice. It should also be stated that date of publication was a further decid ing factor in some cases, for it was felt

that the briefest allusion in an 1850vintage novel, from a time when the subject was absolutely forbidden, warranted its inclusion, while the same pas sage in a 1950 work was, in the light of current publishing mores, utterly trivial and not deserving of inclusion.

The classification is followed by the place, publisher and date of first publication, with the following exceptions: np and/or nd-the book in question does not give place and/or date of publication.

vp, vd-"classics" which may be found in numerous editions published in various places at various dates.

Reprints are indicated only in certain important cases, whenever reprints were accompanied by a change in title, and for paper-bound reprints.

No effort has been spared to make this bibliography as complete, accurate and reliable from every point of view as possible. We shall be grateful indeed to any readers who let us know of any errors or omissions that may have been overlooked by the compilers.
