But we ask you, ii Bo5trJn stops ccn.;oring books, hcJ·\· ar<: the publi~h<:r5 going to get their favcJrit<: s started? "BUT GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES" knows how to create and which ts a pleasure: For instance Chapter Four opens "Well I always think that when a young girl of 16 is thoughtless about what is going to happen to her m a Carnaval Company, she is beginning to start toward the edge of a brink." Friend Durothy not only begins to 'Start but grJ<:S over it and the brink lands h<:r in ~ew York. Her experiences are of course ridiculous and told m that breathless halting style which IS Lortlci's own. "IN THE BEGINNING" By Norman Douglu The John Day Co. Xo, he hasn't done it. In picking up this beautifully bound book, "In the Beginning" the question in everyone mind was this, "Ha,; Korman Dougla s after ten years written a book as good as his now classic 'South \Vind'?" Or perhaps better? A silent period of ten years in this era of two a year or so raises extraordinary hope s and fancie-.; in the expectant reader. \Vhat ha kept this· writer silent. what iruitful meditation has he been indulging in, the result of which he is at last rea ;l~· to give to the world? In the case of :\orman Douglas we cannot say, :or "In the Beginning" does not give the impression of lon g meditation. It is :tn urbane tale, sharply visual, gay and witty. of the ea rlie st day.5 upon thi earth-the days when the god mingled freely with men, making .t hem the butt of their someJimes peculia r joke s and pleasures, when the race <1f Satyrs were just dying from the earth before good and evil and the Gardet of Eden were invented-but it has no the flavor of long meditation. "South Wind" had that. there was an immens e amount of wisdom packed m thos e pages, a·3 there was a clarity, a biting quality to the humour which this later hook has not. This is not the good old days illusion, a comparison of two scenes which happened to be ver~ similar in the two books and read one right after the other, gave the laurel s all too emphatically to j(South Wind.' That hook has a vitality which wil make it live long after this later one is dead. PerhaP'3 it is cruel to hang a master p1ece like a mill-stone around an author's neck? A man's earliest works are indeed his sharpest critics. But what else can w~ do, it is only our disappointment speaking. ~IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIJIIIIIIIJIIJIJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIIIIIIIIIIJIIIIIIIIl!:: The Naked Truth Cl11tt Shttidan One of the most duing womtn in Europt trlb tbr uur story of btr lift.
