Hello Everyone

I am looking for a book that I am fairly sure is by Ray. I read it about 20 years ago so my memory of it is very vague unfortunately. I can only remember that the characters were possibly travelling or working on a farm and that one of them was called Oliver and that this character was either homosexual or that there was just some kind of act or depiction of homosexuality associated with him. Thanks very much.

Nard, what say you? I say, Ray 3%, not Ray, 97%. Another one for the growing pile to be sent to other unsolved forums.

Dandelion:
Hmm!! 3%? You are so generous.

Nope! Nothing I can think of. Ray did a play titled, 'Falling Upwards', that dealt a bit with the subject... but no Oliver there....

thanks guys. i will start looking elsewhere.

The name "Oliver" doesn't ring a bell, so this probably isn't a match, but it certainly sounds a fair bit like _Of Mice and Men_, by John Steinbeck.

This could be _The Book of Skulls_, by Robert Silverberg.
