New York Morrow, (1992.) dj. Hardcover first edition - First novel by the internationally acclaimed actor Rupert Everett, who has been in such films as Another Country, and The Comfort of Strangers. One English review described this as 'gallop[ing] through a life of dissipation with black humour and unabashed hedonism. Venturing from the Borders to Tangier, a confection of sexual confusion, cross-dressing and copious drug abuse litters every episode of the mal-de-siecle masquerade.' Illustrations by Frances Crichton Stuart. Review copy with publisher's slip laid in. ISBN: 0-688-117864.

New York: Summit Books, (1980.) dj. Hardcover first edition - Although Bernice Rubens has been highly praised, and the winner of the prestigious Booker award in England for her novel 'the Elected Member,' her novels are almost unknown and underappreciated in the US. This story of a cross-dressing teacher trying to escape a boring marriage but who finds himself trapped in the identity of 'Emily' is both wickedly funny and rather sad. In this book Rubens has made even murder funny. ISBN: 0-671-400819.
