Thank you all for your gracious comments.
David, I wouldn't bother buying the book if your motive is to learn more about Joel. He is mentioned maybe 3 times in the diary excerpts published in it. The mentions are sort of like this: "Joel Crothers came over and we baked cookies together. He was quite chatty, as usual." Another entry speaks of Joel being around when Felice was staying on Fire Island one summer in the Seventies. It was pretty clear that Joel was very much on the scene in the gay community of the time. I didn't even know from these references that Joel and Felice had shared a sexual dalliance, although it was hardly uncommon in those circles back then (and, perhaps, some other circles more recently... but I'm going WAY off topic here).
Anyone who wants to "bully" Your Humble Servant is welcome to try. From my years of watching DS and the work of the incomparable Miss Joan Bennett, THE Mistress of Collinwood, Now and FOREVER, I've mastered the art of the "the freeze." LOL!
cheers, Gothick
