A.I'., Buffalo. Low-Key Sex EAGLE IN THE AIR, By Rose Robinson. Crown: $4.95 This is the story of Jean, a young black woman, and her tribulations, in a world that is stacked against her. After being booted out of college for participating in a sit-in, she goes to live with an older male friend, only to find that she can't get along with him. Desperate, she flees from Chicago to a small Iowa town, where her married sister lives, only to discover the sister is becoming paranoic.

So Jean packs her few belongings and starts hitchhiking to the West Coast. It is this strange odyssey that forms the major pattern of the story. Jean undergoes several rough experiences. Then just as she is about to be raped by a couple of bums, she is rescued by a very strange pair. They are Johnny, a big, one-armed, blond rover from Southern Indiana, and Kid, a retarded adolescent with a mean streak in him, whom Johnny has taken under his protection.

(A twist on "Of Mice and Men," but without the raw brutality.) The three of them join forces to complete the journey to the Coast and both Jean and Johnny learn some things about life from each other. The overtones of race and sex in the story are handled in low-key fashion, in keeping with the development of the narrative. The author herself is black, and this is her first novel. It shows a great deal of strength and imagination, is written in an unusual, streamlined style, and displays skill in the use of dialogue. A Despite her sex change, Christine just doesn't have the necessary equipment.
