A Bit of Sugar
A Bit of Sugar is a preteen novel, set in the early 70s, with strong family values. Laura Maynor is a fourth grader obsessed with getting her own pony. Her father thinks it’s a great idea, but her mother, Rose, objects. Rose has never gotten over the loss of her own pony, Trigger, in a tragic accident years earlier. She wants to shield her daughter from such pain. Rose’s father, who feels responsible for that accident, cannot bear to see his mistake now deprive young Laura of her own pony. Finally, after much pleading and a heart-to-heart talk with her mother, Rose reluctantly agrees. Laura’s grandfather quickly finds an ideal, but expensive, pony at the well-respected Hadley Pony Farm, but the deal unexpectedly falls through. Determined not to disappoint his granddaughter, he pursues a risky, alternative course of action that produces surprising results. Will Laura’s mother and grandfather ever heal the emotional wounds connected to the death of Rose’s pony? And, even more importantly, will Laura ever enjoy a pony of her own?

Masculinity in Lesbian “Pulp” Fiction
This book looks specifically and in depth, for the first time, at masculinity in cheap, lesbian-themed paperbacks of the two decades after WW2. It challenges established critical assumptions about the readership, and sets the masculinity imagined in these novels against the “masculinity crisis” of the era in which they were written. The key issue of these novels is couplehood as much as sexuality, and the instability of masculinity leads to the instability of the couple. Thompson coins the term “heteroemulative” to describe the struggle that both heterosexual and homosexual couples have in conforming to heteronormativity. As several of these novels have been republished and remain in print, they have taken on a new relevance to issues of sexuality and gender in the twentyfirst century, and this study will attract readers within that area of interest. A valuable read for sociologists studying gender roles, and social historians of the cold war period in the United States. It is suitable for readers of all academic levels, from undergraduate, through postgraduate, to scholars and researchers, but also for a general readership.
