40 WILMETTE LIFE April 22, 1927 Zona Gale Lectures _ on uybe New Literature, To the modern novel nothing that is human is unalien . This fact Zon~ Gale impressed upon her Evanston audience yesterday when she came from her Wisconsin home to deliver the lecture in the Contempora·· Thought course at Northwestern university. Writers of the contemporary novel, Miss Gale reminded, discussing "The New Literature," recognize that there is a great area of life-and so for artin the ugly, the commonplace, the unhappy, the sad, the grotesque and that ordinarily called "uninteresting." The new novels. she said, no longer present a happy ending. Also, they are honest. They do not present everybody as either good or beautiful. .They have likewise extended their method as well as their material. One new method is to use the whole stream of a character's consciousness-to follow with him through his day and year. The new novel consists of the romance of the mind and spirit of man. · There are an endless number of experiments in the novel's technic. One is getting rid of quotation marks-another is refusing to give a full line to unimportant as well as to important sentences in conversation. Another is getting rid of all inessentials either to meaning or to beauty. IRteviie~z (O)f N<e \W 1ffi t0>0>k~ '"I'HB LTNC:BRING Wood Martin. I =============== FAUN"-M abe' 1 BOOK SHOP .

Russian noblemen and women running taxicabs and doing laborious bead work to keep from starvation, idealists oouring- in to the Peace Confe.r ence to have their ideals stepped on, the maimed and bereaved making a grotesque and terrible background. Barbara. the beautiful American. married Prince Serg-e Petanoff and went to Russia to live. There she came into conflict with all the old tottering unsound fabric of Russian nobility. She tried to . change it but c;he was powerless-and then, she was too late. · She and her husband flee the Deluge and arrive with many of their countrvmen in Paris. Mrs. Martin has de.scrihed vividly the pitiful tortured life they lived there, haunted by fear and buoyed up spasmodically by g-roundless hopes. The figure of the "faun ," a mysterious man from the east, an envov to the Peace Conference. is weakened by a sort of appeal to the supernatural.

He published several years ago a monograph on Pheasants. and l1is latest hook "Pheasant Jungles" is the story of hi s expedition into farthest India and Burma for studies of rare birds. This book is even more interesting than his others. His servants are such personalities, and their environment breathes romance. W. 0. Krohn's book, "In Borneo Jungles," suffers by comparison. The book appears to he very accurate, but inclined to be too instructive. He reports too many of the obvious and commonplace things m this expedition for the Field Museum and is interesting only in spite of himself. The important thing in reading it is the realization that one can go down to the museum and see the things he talks about. -ANN~ WHI'I'MACK. ~~~~~~~~~hoo~TI~~~~~- ·.. in the ocean or the desert where nothing can eve.r happen to her again. But there is no escape for Serge. He being part of the old regime must pass away with it and he finally takes his own life. The frozen helpless de fiance of his reaction is very well dra\\·n. The envoy through a failure of his plans goes away to start over again. and Barbara is left to make a new life , as an American and not as a Russian this time. -EsTHER Gocr.o.
