Fiction -- Bibliography; Paraphilias in literature -- Bibliography
WINDHAM, DONALD. _The Hitchhiker._ Florence, Italy, priv. print.
(m).
_Servants with Torches._ N. Y. 1955 priv. print. (m).
_Dog Star._ Doubleday, 1950, (m).
WINSLOE, CHRISTA. _The Child Manuela._ (Trans. Agnes Scott Farrar,
1933.) Motherless Manuela, sent to a strict boarding-school
because of supposed misconduct with a boy (actually she was only
fascinated with his mother) falls in love with Elizabeth von
Bernberg, one of the teachers. The woman’s behavior is strictly
correct, but her warmth of personality attracts all the
love-starved, inhibited children; Manuela, exhilarated and
slightly drunk at a school party, babbles of her love for the
Fraulein, and is punished so severely that she throws herself from
a top-floor window.
_Girl Alone._ (Trans. Agnes Scott). Farrar 1936. A girl in
difficulties finds temporary refuge with a lesbian friend.
WINSTON, DAOMA. _The Golden Tramp._ pbo Beacon Books 1959. Evening
waster about a woman writer trying it both ways.
WOLLER, OLGA. _Strange Conflict._ Pageant, 1955. Purple-passaged
and would-be-horrifying story about a Eurasian
hermaphrodite—supposedly as she is because of her mother’s
intercourse with demons before her birth—who inspires love and
brings death to everyone she knows, male or female.
WOODFORD, JACK. _Male and Female._ Woodford Press, 1935.
_Unmoral._ Woodford Press, 1938. Both of these are evening
wasters—racy stuff, not bad at all when compared with the current
crop of trashy paperbacks. The “lesbian” content, of course, is
strictly for fun.
WOOD, CLEMENT. _Strange Fires._ Woodford Press, 1951. “Shipwreck
on Lesbos” in his _Desire_, Berkeley n. d. 1958 (copyright 1950,
perhaps Woodford Press?) Clement Wood is either a pen name for, or
a successor to, Jack Woodford, a popular writer of racy, risque,
sexy books of little literary merit but relatively innocuous even
for teen-agers ... the trash of the thirties and forties was a
very different thing from the scv of the fifties.
WOOD, CLEMENT, and Gloria Goddard. _Fair Game._ Woodford Press,
1949, pbr Beacon 1958. Evening waster about girls coming to the
wicked big city, and we all know what happens to such girls in
this kind of book. One of them falls in with the dangerous women
instead of the dangerous men.
+ WOOLF, VIRGINIA. _Orlando._ _To The Lighthouse._
_Mrs. Dalloway._ All of these are classics easily available in
small, medium and large libraries, college bookstores, and the
like. The lesbian content is vague and subtle, but good; one of
the best woman writers.
