RANSVESTIA

The second novel was described in its newspaper review as "The Think- ing Man's 'Myra Breckinridge'" which does not do the novel credit. The title is SUNDAY BEST by Bernice Rubens, again with a woman auth- or, who deals admirably with the main character, a transvestite school teacher who manages to live six days of the week as George Verry Smith, but reserves Sunday for Georgina.

The theme is wry humor and is brilliantly written. It does not lack action and the hero-heroine is suspected of murder, fathering of the next door neighbor's son, robbery, and finally running off to Brighton dressed as Georgina to avoid the attention of an overzealous police detective. It is printed by Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, and is not yet available as a paperback.

"Plain clothes duty or not-I still think yer letting the force down, Fred!"
