In Brobdingnag, the kingdom of giants described in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver is cared for by a farm girl whom he calls his Glumdalclitch – “little nurse” in Brobdingnagian. GLUMDALCLITCH is the story of that girl’s adventurous progress to strong and fulfilling womanhood. Her name is Wendeling. After Gulliver’s apparent death (here this story begins), Wendeling becomes the ward and favorite of the queen. She is schooled in all knowledge by the old savant Hassflig. Her beauty, grace and daring set her apart. She marries her love, Harlbruug, and by diligent effort becomes the most influential woman in a male-dominated society, espousing equal rights for women. Through it all she cherishes memories of the tiny Englishman, and she and Harlbruug create a Gulliver museum. In the climactic event, Wendeling’s baby is dramatically saved from the clutches of the villainous Skraagnok by the crew of English sailors who have retraced Gulliver’s long-ago voyage to Brobdingnag. After the rescue their ship is trundled back to sea on a wagon and they sail for home as the giant Brobdingnagians wave farewell from shore.

Gemini is the story of young Bascomb McGoslin and his search for love and spiritual fulfillment—a search which became a desperate flight from the life and the world he had known before. Behind Bascomb’s headlong escape was June Cyzmanski—a willful, beautiful creature as hungry for love as he, but with an honesty he had not yet achieved. Torn by his passion for Cyz and by his guilt over their love affair, Bascomb was impelled to seek absolution for his sins within the religious life. Gemini is many things. It is a bold and honest portrait of a man trapped by his own keen intelligence in a nightmare of doubt and ignorance. It is a fascinating and faithful recreation of seminary life. And, above all, it is a haunting story of love—between man and woman, man and God. William Kelley was born in 1929, the fourth of seven children. His first novel, Gemini was a best seller when first published in 1959. He has an extensive background as both writer and producer, having written numerous movies and series for television as well as 7 novels. He received an Academy Award for best screenplay in 1986 for Witness.
