...your Jan. 18 review of Glendon Swarthout's novel, Where the Boys Are: we are certain that Author Swarthout knows what he is writing about, since almost every line of the review brought laughter at familiar slang and views. Although the sex views and deeds of the novel's vacationers are extremely exaggerated, the book sounds like a text of modern college students and their customs that every parent should read...
...manual for U.S. cemetery-plot salesmen: "It's better to have a plot and no need for it than to need it and not have one." He sneered at a claim of California winegrowers that they have never had a poor vintage year. He declaimed: "The selling of sex [in the U.S.] is at the root of the trouble."

His Studies in the Psychology of Sex is so weighted with abnormal cases that to generalize from them is rather like taking a height norm from a sampling of basketball centers. His self-prized autobiography. My Life, is a talky, pseudo-candid aside. In his literary essays, e.g., on Diderot, Whitman, Ibsen, he was an appreciator but no critic. As a thinker he belongs to the age of the New Woman, with its feminists, pacifists and socialists-pressed flowers...
