True, Ed's interest seems to have come right from the heart, but that should only give him greater insight into the issues arising from cross-dressing. It seems, however, that he took it all a bit too seriously. In the promisingly titled Killer in Drag the main character shares Glen and Glenda's name. Fortunately, however, there is a little more to this incarnation of the figure. It's not great pulp fiction, but it's a start.
Problem is, just before they get down and dirty someone interrupts.
Not entirely a drag, but not quite as much fun as hoped for. Wood gets a lot of mileage out of the difficulties of being a fugitive transvestite. He does come up with some nice characters, and his ear for dialogue is actually pretty decent about half the time. Wood is too much of a ra-ra transvestite supporter, what with Glen leaving a trail of men in her wake who have to go pleasure themselves after merely glimpsing her seductive, Angora clad figure, but most of the time one can forgive him his obsession Still, the great weakness of the novel is that the plot isn't thought through enough. It is a pretty bad book, but it is not horrifically bad.
