IV: a time and place when one's sex orientation did not need declared

[Robin Landseadel]

Good point. Note that the second "gayest" TRP novel is Gravity's  
Rainbow* and —the palimpsest thing goin' on in the novel again—sexual  
confusion of this sort being a very big part of L.A., circa 1970, that  
found its way into Gravity's Rainbow and Inherent Vice.

* I'm plowing through it again, finding all sorts of resonances in  
Against the Day and Inherent Vice.
