TM said: Saddening that while Vin Packer (Marijane Meeker)
has written her autobio, it says Very Little about her Gold
Medal years, inasmuch as it's mostly aimed at her YA fans and
published under her YA pseud, M. E. Kerr. Called ME ME ME ME
ME: NOT A NOVEL if I recall. While some of her YA novels are
lesbian-friendly, softpedalling her lesbian-novel years
probably seemed a good idea for the comfort of junior-high
librarians and such. It does mention, as I've probably
mentioned here before, that she went to college with eventual
fellow GMian Richard Matheson.
*********** And lived with Patricia Highsmith for a while,
too. I did an internet search on her yesterday during lunch
and it took me to a site where I was reading about her. Then
John Dove came in wanting to talk work so I turned away from
it and talked to him for a while. When he left I noticed the
big header above the article said "gaywired". Wonder what
John thought about that?
