PAGE SrX Vuewpoint of Writer Proves Interesting Topic The second meeting of the Reading and Discussion Group held at the Lions Centre, Dec. Il. followed thne pattern of trie f.rst meeting, but took the ac- tiîor's view-point rather than the reader's. No writer should be afraid to desc-ibe the world he tees. even if it is different 1.'om the world of others. Som- erset Maugham admits that his writings have sometimes shock- éd people. but he has alwavs tried to tell the truth as he saxvit. Shakespeare was endowed with empathy to so great a de- gree that he was at once the rnost living and the least sen- timental of authors.

Oshawa RA 5-3525 crea te many characters. The measure of bis greatness is the number of selves that he corn- prises. When be fashions a char'acter that does not carry conviction it is because there is in himself nothing o! thal person. He bas had to faîl back on observation and so bas only described and flot created. The world of objective fan- tasy' vis made reaI to the writer through bis capacity for arrest- ing it and fixing it in form. It separates bim from the rest of mankind. Morley Callaghan is quoted as saving "The art of fiction is the greatest art of ail". The life of a writér must be one of courage and talent and is the rnost dernanding of discipline.1 An interesting interlude was provided when a recording was played of Somerset Ma gam i na reading fromn "Cakes and Ale". The members followred the recording from a typed copy of t t egtrct. A blank page was attacbed for the members to write their impressions or cri- ticisms of the writing ini ques- tion. These will be handed in at the meeting of Dec. 18 at wbich time the theme will be "Books from the Critic and Publishers Viewpoint." Next meeting is Jan. 8 and new members are welcome.
