Fiction -- Bibliography; Paraphilias in literature -- Bibliography
ENTERS, ANGNA. _Among the Daughters._ Coward McCann, 1955.
Autobiographical novel of a girl who, like the author, finally
becomes a dancer and choreographer. A good deal of space is
devoted to a friendship between Lucy and another girl; the story
is tinged with variance but never explicit.
ESTEY, NORBERT. _All My Sins._ A. A. Wyn, 1954. pbr Crest 1956.
fco. Few very minor variant episodes in a long novel of the French
courtesan Ninon l’Enclos.
EUSTIS, HELEN. _The Horizontal Man._ Harper 1946, pbr Pocket Books
1955. Offbeat psychological murder mystery.
EVANS, LESLEY. _Strange are the Ways of Love._ pbo Crest 1959.
Love among the guitar-playing, folk-singing beatniks, with the
lesbians playing Musical Beds. Evening waster.
EVANS, JOHN (pseud. of Howard Browne). _Halo in Brass._
Bobbs-Merrill 1949, pbr Bantam 1958. Hardboiled detective story;
private eye Paul Pine is hired to locate runaway girl with no boy
friends and many girl friends. Suspenseful, nice way to spend (not
waste) a lazy evening.
EWERS, HANNS HEINZ. _Alraune._ John Day, 1929. Alraune is Evil
incarnate—symbol of the Mandrake Root, destroying love in
everyone with whom she comes in contact, bringing out their innate
evil. Among those destroyed by Alraune are a pair of lesbian
lovers. High-quality fantasy, unfortunately rare and rather
expensive.
FADIMAN, EDWIN JR. _The 21 Inch Screen._ Doubleday 1958, pbr
Signet 1960. TV bigshot Rex Lundy has woman trouble—his wife, his
mistress, and his teen-age daughter. The latter is seeking the
love she doesn’t get at home from a Greenwich Village lesbian
friend. Excellent modern fiction.
_The Glass Play Pen._ pbo Signet 1956. Rich girl loses her
parents, loses her money, and turns expensive call girl. One
lesbian episode, treated with tenderness and sympathy.
see also EDWINA MARK.
FAIR, ELIZABETH. _Bramton Wick._ Funk & Wagnalls 1954. fco. Cozy
little story of cozy little English village, including two maiden
ladies who have lived together for many years. “It is all very
light and airy and your old-maid aunt wouldn’t think it at all
odd.” Apt to be in libraries.
FAREWELL, NINA. _Someone to Love._ Messner 1959, pbr Popular
Library, 1960. One brief, incomplete lesbian episode in a long,
interesting novel of a woman’s continual search for real love in a
life filled with fleeting liaisons.
