LESBIANA

66.

THE OTHER ONE, a long short story by Jean Garrigue included in the 1947 volume of the anthology "Cross Section" edited by E. Seaver. Simon & Schuster.

Extremely good writing and a Henry James type of psychology mark this excellent short story. The now past and dead love affair between Rosemary Bastone and her friend Miss Lehman are recreated by the prying of a curious acquaintance. One of the better treatments of the damnation possible when a mother dominates a child to the point of destroying a love affair. (This can be found in any large-to-medium public library. The authoress is known in some avant garde literary circles as an unusually good young poet.)

67. THE MIDDLE MIST by Mary Renault. Wm, Morrow & Co., 1945.

68.

Life on a houseboat is a romantic idyll for Leo and Helen in a world apart from humdrum conventions and ways. When little sister runs away from home and joins them, however, things begin to happen! In the tangle of events and persons an entirely new balance is established among the "wanderers in the middlemist" to the surprise of the characters involved as well as the reader. Most delightful reading!

TORCHLIGHT TO VALHALLA by Gale Wilhelm. Rand om House, 1938.

A beautifully written and perceptive novel of a young girl's finding of herself. Morgain is torn between her devotion to the talented Royal St. George and the bowitching Toni. One cannot argue with the choice she made, yet regrettably, the book ends the moment it becomes the most delightful.
