SHORT NOTES:

There are incidental homosexual passages in Earl Conrad's CRANE EDEN, Bernard Geis, 1962, Pyramid, 1963. The novel is loosely based on the life of Errol Flynn.

The March 23, 1963, issue of The New Yorker magazine contains a subtle male homosexual short story by Vladimir Nabokov called "Triangle Within Circle". It is very good and worth a trip to your library to read.

Incidentally, those of you who have access to a large library will find that most of them will xerox or similarly reproduce short stories and other short items for a nominal fee from any book or magazine in their own collection (not from borrowed material, however). This saves the effort and expense of locating and buying large volumes for smaller pieces.

A DIRECTORY TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR YOUNG ADULTS IN SAN FRANCISCO is the title of a concise and recently printed booklet which is a valued handbook for newcomers to the city. It lists many public and voluntary agencies, employment agencies, residences with social services, residence clubs, social and sporting clubs, church organizations, social welfare agencies, and community supported group work and recreational agencies in a pocket-size 16-page booklet. Included among the listed social welfare agencies is the Mattachine Society, along with many others. The booklet was prepared under co-sponsorship of the Young Adult Committee, the Group Work and Recreation Council, the United Fund and the Glide (Methodist) Foundation. It is primarily of value in the San Francisco area. Copies are 10 cents plus postage from Mattachine Society and other listed agencies.

For Jean Cocteau:

...UNIQUELY WHAT HE WAS

•

(translated by J.R.S.)

Jean Cocteau has passed through the mirror. He who played with death so often has been taken in by the game. Now he plays at being truly dead, but isn't entirely convincNow he plays at being truly dead, b ing.

What were his impressions on entering the kingdom that he more than any other poet described so often for us, making it an almost familiar place? He must feel at home along the bare walls and in the great wind of Orpheus, while we find ourselves alone and stunned before a hard mirror that reflects only ourselves. I wouldn't be surprised to see him reappear, even thinner and paler, with his cheeks more deeply lined and his bushy hair lightly touched with green. He would have cast a spell on the faceless judge, harassed him by paradox, and tamed him with candor. He might even be able to bring back with him those leather and metal clad motorcyclists who had the beautiful face of Jeannot. Won't $
