1962ref. 189881962. Hastings March. Rage of Desire and Toward Howard. All Cats Are Grey 1962 pair two lesbian themed novels in a single duplex paperback issued for the early 1960s mass market. The format allowed each novel its own illustrated wrapper and promotional language with women and same sex desire used to market the book from both directions. The All Cats Are Grey wrapper explicitly describes a "sisterhood" within "cinema society" documenting the sensational vocabulary through which publishers advertised lesbian subject matter to paperback readers before Stonewall. Hastings March. Rage of Desire. Toward Howard. All Cats Are Grey. Chicago: Dollar Book Company 1962. Duplex edition containing two novels. 192 pages. Brightly colored pictorial wrappers 6.5 × 4 inches. The Rage of Desire wrapper depicts a reclining blonde woman. The opposing All Cats Are Grey wrapper shows one woman undressing while another woman wearing mod sunglasses observes from the background. Its caption reads: "Prowling through the lush jungle of cinema society is the fraternity of a third theme.that predatory sulky sexy sisterhood ." The two cover treatments make lesbian sexuality an explicit component of the book's commercial presentation rather than leaving its subject to the interior narrative alone. Published in 1962 the duplex preserves the packaging and vocabulary used to sell lesbian themed fiction through inexpensive American paperbacks at a time when publishers commonly presented same sex desire through suggestions of secrecy sexual danger and voyeurism. The unusual two novel construction also places two separately authored treatments of lesbian subject matter within one commercial object with each cover functioning as an advertisement for the novel entered from that side. Bright wrappers with the supplied description noting no substantial defects. Very good condition. unknown books
