Indeed, DRESS HER IN INDIGO. The treatment of the gay male
characters struck me as a bit clumsily striving-to-be-fair,
but the lesbians in INDIGO and particularly in FOX are
definitely in for a hard time, both in event and analysis. (I
might quote from FOX, particularly, when next I have it at
hand while at a computer.) TM

********* He wrote a few Mexican ones, didn't he? I know that
most of DRESS HER INDIGO was set in Mexico, and there were
homosexual guys and girls in it, and Travis gets the pleasure
of punching out both. I didn't find his treatment of
homosexuals extremely heavy-handed in this book.
