One of this author's works opens at "one of Johnny Chipman's parties at the Harlequin club," where Ricky French and the other guests debate the trouble with art, which they conclude is women. In addition to Young People's Pride, this author wrote a play where the voice of Schiller responds, "It does to me" when asked what difference it makes to "Burn a few books, burn a hundred, or burn a million." This author's poems include Western Star and Litany for Dictatorships, and he adapted a passage from Whitman's Specimen Days for a poem about Union Troops after a defeat. A priest travels to the "Place of the Gods" his post-apocalyptic short story "By the Waters of Babylon," and in another of his short stories, the title character defends Jabez Stone from Mr. Scratch.
