SCOTT, LES. _Twilight Women._ Arco 1952, pbr Beacon 1956.
Evening-waster suspenseful adventure story of a chase-type
kidnapping: Rance, the hero, pleasantly entangled with two
beautiful Polynesian girls, who eventually take him to a Utopian
tropical island where he happily marries both of them. The contact
between the girls is incidental and included simply to heighten
excitement for male readers, but it’s good fun in a Sax Rohmer-ish
way.
_Three Can Love._ Arco, 1952.
_Touchable._ Arco, 1951. Probably much the same as above.
SCULLY, ROBERT. _A Scarlet Pansy._ N. Y., Faro, 1933, Hesor 1937,
hcr. Reprinted and completely rewritten by Royal, no pub. no date,
Baltimore, Oppenheimer, 30s and 40s. In 1950, D W Cory called this
“the low point of the homosexual novel”. A lot of trash has been
written since, which makes this look simply silly. (m). A
confusing novel of the “gay” world, including some butchy and
peculiar lesbians.
SEELEY, E. S. _Sorority Sin._ Beacon pbo, 1959. scv.
SELA, LORA. (pseud of Carol Hales) _I Am a Lesbian._ Saber pbo,
1959. Would-be shocker about a poor innocent girl being pushed
into love affairs with brutal boys, raped, etc, by cruel relatives
and friends, when all that God wants of her, according to the
author, is for her to be a Happy Well-Adjusted Noble Lesbian. This
isn’t even scv, since the writers of sexy trash usually know
something about sex or trash or both. Read it and snicker.
SETON, ANYA. _Katherine._ Houghton, 1954. (m. minor)
SHAW, WILENE. _The Fear and the Guilt._ pbo, Ace, 1954.
Softball-playing Ruby brings sweet-leech Christy to her Tobacco
Road home. There, to disarm suspicion, Christy allows herself to
be first seduced, then married, by Ruby’s father. Sympathetic for
a shocker, but oh, my!
SIDGWICK, ETHEL. _A Lady of Leisure._ Boston, Small, 1914. A
passionate, but quite innocent, attachment between women in their
twenties.
SIMENON, GEORGES. _In Case of Emergency._ Doubleday 1958, pbr Dell
1959. A common theme—a good man enslaved by a worthless girl—is
treated here by a very good European writer. A subplot deals with
the attachment between the girl and her maidservant.
