...short stories which interrupt the main narrative to state in parables the recurring motifs of the novel; "From the Diary of Sarah Tarleton" consists of excerpts from the self-book of a pious old lady who looked on life with unruffled satisfaction in her God and herself, heightening the reader's understanding of the characters and events of the novel by her own misunderstanding of them. Both devices are very successful, and the author may well be satisfied with the results of his experiment in form...

As for advertising "trickery": Are any other readers unable to see at once that the Heinz copy is advertising...
...upon some poets, for tradition must have stronger ties than recondite allusions to forgotten epics and obscure quotations from moth-eaten manuscripts in Continental archives. L. Z.'s notes provide some elucidation of the passages from the "XXX Cantos," but there is still not enough clarity for the plain reader. "The Red Front," by Louis Aragon, in the translation of e. e. cummings, is less eccentric than the selections from cummings' own "Eimi." T. S. Eliot is represented by the least intelligible of his poems, the first part of "Sweeny Agonistes: Fragment of an Aristophanic Melodrama...
