Rider is described in the book as having buttocks like a boy, which brought a response from Fleming's friend Noël Coward that "I was also slightly shocked by the lascivious announcement that Honeychile's bottom was like a boy's.

The island has a colony of roseate spoonbills at one end while local rumour is that a vicious dragon also lives there.

The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Because I’d loved The Grief of Others by this author, I decided to take a chance here, despite the fact that the plot description seemed to lack appeal.

The story of a brother and sister who shared an unconventional childhood as the subjects of their father's educational experiment. Similarly, I was not sure from either Ava or Kitty's descriptions why Kitty would be such a faithful friend (or what Kitty would really see in Ava).If you want to map out a gay canon, start here: a colleague asked me what's been done on gay poetics and I can't think of anything better. As adults, Ava and Fred bear the marks of their parents’ freeform upbringing, as well as the impact of their differing personalities. The children learn by running free through the woods that surround their home, experimenting and exploring, hence the title--No Book But the World.
