PROUST: THE LATER YEARS, by George D. Painter. In this second volume, Painter completes his magnificently paced reconstruction of the life of Marcel Proust, in which the novelist's sexual deviation is discussed freely without de-emphasizing his worth as a writer. While sculpting the three-dimensional figure of Proust, Poet and British Museum Curator Painter also found time to help authenticate The Vinland Map (see below...

A young Mrs. Crawford (Sarah Badel), anxious to free herself from a disastrous marriage, arms her impotent husband with the information that she has not only committed adultery with Dilke but has also been his partner in more orgiastic antics. Though possibly innocent of wrongdoing with Mrs. Crawford, Sir Charles dare not defend his name, since he is guilty of a previous liaison with her mother (Coral Browne). The Crawford...
