WOUK, HERMAN. _Marjorie Morningstar._ Doubleday 1955, pbr 1956. The variant element in this is minor and problematical. In conversation, it occurred to a group of reviewers that the developing relationship between Marjorie and Marsha “resembled a love affair”, that Marsha’s attack of hysterics at her wedding, and her outcry that all she had ever wanted was a friend, and now she’d always be alone, was of distinct significance. BAYOR. WYLIE, PHILIP. _The Disappearance._ Rinehart 1951, pbr Pocket Books 1958. Science fiction; for men, all women vanish; for women, all men vanish. The problem of lesbianism arises in the women’s world; Wylie, though technically and superficially approving of homosexuality, has his heroine reject it for herself, saying “I’m not a child.” _Opus 21._ Rinehart 1949, pbr Signet 1952, 1960. The hero, rewriting a book in a hotel during a weekend of crisis, runs across many unusual characters; among them a woman, shaken because her husband is having a homosexual affair, is shamed into tolerance by dallying with a lesbian prostitute. Wylie, again superficially approving, has his hero act in a skirt-withdrawing way, refusing such things for himself at the last minute in every book. WYNDHAM, JOHN. “Consider her Ways” in _Sometime, Never_, Ballantine 1956-57. Science Fiction; a woman experimenting with strange drugs goes into the future, where all men have perished and society resembles that of the ant. Good. _The Midwich Cuckoos._ Ballantine, 1957. Science Fiction. Alien visitation from outer space leaves every nubile female in Midwich—married or single, young or old—pregnant. Hilariously funny situations arise; one of the funniest involves a pair of lesbians. Wonderful fun. YAFFE, JAMES. _Nothing But the Night._ Little, Brown & Co, 1957, pbr Bantam 1959, (m). More fake Leopold-Loeb. Good. YOURCENAR, MARGUERITE. _Hadrian’s Memoirs._ Farrar, 1954, qpb Anchor 1954, (m). ZOLA, ÉMILE. _Nana._ Literally dozens of hardcover and paperback editions of a shocker about a street girl who, in addition to all her affairs with men, also has an affair with Satin, a streetwalker. _A Lesson in Love._ Abridged edition of Pot Bouille. Pyramid, 1959. ZUGSMITH, ALBERT. _The Beat Generation._ Bantam pbo based on screenplay by Richard Mathesen, (m) minor. _The Poetry of Lesbiana_ An index of Poems and Poets of interest to Collectors of Lesbiana _Compiled by Gene Damon_ Briefly, this includes variant as well as overtly lesbian poetry, written in English or available in English translation.
