Keith Maillard's novel _Gloria_ (1999) draws very heavily (and explicitly) on books 3 and 4. It was published to a decent amount of critical acclaim, and was nominated for the Canadian Governor-General's Award for literature. The title character is an American college student in the 1950s who becomes very caught up with Spenser and has a lot of frenzied FQ-inspired dreams en route to discovering her true calling as a poet. --- Kelly Quinn Assistant Professor Department of English University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada N6A 3K7
