****** Looks like BUTTERFLY and SERENADE are way popular,
with LOVE'S LOVELY COUNTERFEIT duly noted. Thanks to
everybody who made suggestions.
I'll have to check out when SERENADE came out. Gore Vidal
came out with a controversial novel with open homosexuality,
didn't he? I know it came out in the 40's and it had a name
something like THE CITY AND THE PILLAR?
