What issue could bring eight of the biggest-selling female writers in the U.S. together under one roof?

THE MALE CROSS-DRESSER SUPPORT GROUP (Crown; $20) continues the author's carom through the Big Apple. This time it's a send-up of bizarre life-styles as seen through the hungry eye of Pamela Trowel, advertising director of Hunter's World magazine.
