Despite Charles's objections, Travis can’t help liking E.M. Forster’s Maurice, the novel discussed in this very romantic episode. There are three queer men in this tale, and we have thoughts on each of them.  There's Clive the money-grubbing pragmatist, Alec the flirtatious handyman, and, of course, the eponymous hero Maurice, whose love of fairy tales makes him a man after Charles's own heart.  In our Queer and Now section, Charles is s(c)hocked by recent legal developments involving a certain(ly not gay) ex-Congressman, and Travis notes that the Winds of Lent are upon us. Buckle up!
