DAYS OF WRATH - André Malraux - Random House ($1.75). New authors, like clouds no bigger than a man's hand, appear frequently on the literary horizon, and never lack for meteorologists to predict their growth into the greatest storm yet seen. André Malraux is such a cloud. Before he swam into U.

Celestine Kapsner, published at St. John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minn, with the official imprimatur of Bishop Joseph F. Busch of St. Cloud and the Nihil Obstat of Monsignor John P. Durham. Hence it was presumed not to err in faith or morals. The Denver Register, whose editor, Monsignor Matthew J. W. Smith, splashed it on the front page of his weekly, was deluged with letters...
