...pure analyzed sense of "what is." Only thus could we ever have experienced the bus ride to Burguete and the fishing in The Sun Also Rises, the mud-epic retreat in A Farewell to Arms, Pilar's tale of "the day it began" in the finest of his full-length novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls...
...Blacks, a mocking kaleidoscopic allegory of race hatred, is probably the most interesting item around. Genet's other long-running offering is The Balcony, an amusing charade in which the world is seen as a vast brothel. Rising Dramatist Edward Albee, who has not yet written a full-length play, has built a reputation on lonesco-like one-acters, of which The American Dream and The Death of Bessie Smith are now on view.

There is a novella, Lunar Caustic, set in the psychiatric wards of New York City's Bellevue Hospital, and a full-length novel, October Ferry to Gabriola, about a guilt-haunted alcoholic, the latter work to be published in 1962. A couple of years ago, a longtime Lowry friend, Canadian Teacher Downie Kirk, salvaged a 3-ft. stack of manuscripts (poems, letters, stories, drafts of novels) from Lowry's British Columbia home, a squatter's cottage. Hear Us O Lord...
...short a space lies open to the disparaging epithets of popularizer and over-simplifier. Admittedly, Mrs. Dean's biographical sketches, averaging less than ten pages in length, are scarcely comprehensive; most of the statesmen she chooses to treat have lent themselves or will soon lend themselves profitably to full-length biography. But the sketches are sufficient for Mrs. Dean's purpose, and she is a popularizer only in that her book is extremely readable. Builders of Emerging Nations is a solid and useful study. Mrs. Dean, editor of the Foreign Policy Association and a member of the faculty...
