Having written satirical mysteries about the New York gay community, Baxt turns to the early 1970's Lesbian community as he dissects feminist guru Sappho Yannopoulos and her coterie. Sappho's current secretary Willi is just breaking up with her private investigator girlfriend Belle, leaving Belle available to look into the problems of Pauline's last secretary, ineffectual Pauline. There's also a woman cab driver, the tough policeman who loves Belle, a mysterious Israeli yachtsman, and an eccentric bartender. To my taste, Baxt isn't as successful with the Lesbians, but it's an amusing book nonetheless for the not-easily-offended.
