CAIN, JAMES M. _Serenade._ Knopf 1937, pbr Signet ca. 1953, (m). CAINE, HALL. _The Bondsman._ R.F. Fenno & Co, ca. 1890; other editions available, frequently very cheap secondhand. Called a “Modern Saga”, this is laid in 18th-Century Iceland. Two half-brothers, Jason the Red and Michael Sunlocks, sons of the same man by different mothers, grow up knowing of one another’s existence, but unknown to each other personally. Through a series of saga-like coincidences, they fall in love with the same woman, and are eventually exiled together to the sulphur mines—Iceland’s prison colony—still unaware of each other’s real identity. There Jason undergoes a psychological and emotional upheaval which can only be described as “falling in love” with Michael, who is still known to him only as Prisoner A-25, not as his hated brother. This story is probably more explicit, emotionally, than anything written before the 20th century and the freedom given by Freud to the emotions of novelists. Recommended. _The Deemster._ Rand McNally, 1888, Chicago; D. Appleton, 1888; numerous other editions, (m). A glorified friendship between two cousins ends in murder.

In the story of a promiscuous, rather pathetic girl, a sadistic lesbian neighbor brings on violent events. Everything very subtle and indirect. _Other Voices, Other Rooms._ Random House 1948, pbr Signet 1959. Young boy slowly falling under the influence of a decadent uncle who is a transvestite. Macabre. CARCO, FRANCIS. _Depravity._ pbo Berkley 1957. _Infamy._ pbo Berkley 1958. Both of these books hint at lesbianism on the cover blurbs, but are, rather, highly risque French novels with brief, irrelevant and heterosexually oriented contact between women characters strictly for voyeuristic effect. CARPENTER, EDWARD. _Iolaus_; _an Anthology of Friendship._ N. Y., Albert & Charles Boni, 1935, (m). Listed as “the first of its kind”, this is said also to be “very vague and old-fashioned.”
