Mario, I hope this reaches you. I was very young in the early
50's and Spring Fire didn't seem to me that radical a book,
except I couldn't have the girls end up together because of
postal censure. I guess as a gay person I was so used to
restrictions of every kind (not the entitlement kids feel
today) that I wasn't surprised...just delighted to be
published, and I was very fond of the editor, Dick Carroll,
who let me write what I wanted to, with only that one
restriction.mm
