Carol Clanton — Gay Interlude

Scripts Sydney First Edition Fine Condition 18cm x 11cm. 187 pages. Pictorial wrappers. "The nether world of women without men." Australian reissue of the 1961 Midwood release. One of the many lesbian pulp novels produced in the mid to late 20th century. Often formulaic and issued in easily recognisable series with suggestive covers and titillating titles, the genre was written largely by male authors under female pseudonyms for a male readership, though a smaller number of authors, some of them lesbian or bisexual women writing under similar pseudonyms, brought more narrative sincerity and psychological depth to the same commercial format. The genre as a whole ranges from outright formulaic titillation to more literary treatments of lesbian relationships within the constraints of the paperback original.
