Miriam Gardner, Marion Zimmer Bradley / MY SISTER MY LOVE 1st Edition 1963

Description: "The only flaw is the excess of plot; there is enough for three times as many pages." (The Ladder)MY SISTER, MY LOVEBy Miriam Gardner [Marion Zimmer Bradley](1963)First printing of this notorious lesbian pulp novel by a pseudonymous Marion Zimmer Bradley.Very good plus."Look, Doris said, sitting up and putting aside her book. "Don't you know she's queer?"Missy laughed. "Oh, like the Quaker said, 'all art queer but me and thee, and methinks thou art a bit odd at times.'" Early '60s pulp with a lurid, exploitative hook but contemplative, angst-ridden content, featuring seductions to the strains of Sibelius on the phonograph ("the dark sounds and floating melancholy of The Swan of Tuonela," specifically.) Well-reviewed in the Lesbiana column of The Ladder, which noted approvingly: "The novel is well written, unmarred by the sexual excess expected in paperback originals." Rated "Objectionable" by the National Organization for Decent Literature.Read more: Gene Damon, "Lesbiana," The Ladder, January '64. Derby, CT: Monarch Books, Inc, (1963). 7'' x 4.25''.
