DeVries, Peter. Forever panting. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1973. ISBN 0-316-18187-0.

Summary: A flamboyant actor with a penchant for Freudian analysis and a hapless incapacity to reconcile his midwestern, Dutch Calvinist background with his New York lifestyle, conceives an arbitrary lust for his mother-in-law, an endearing malaprop factory. However, the experience of play-doctoring his wife's historical drama about Sir Walter Raleigh causes him to revert to type.
