A GLIMPSE INTO THE

Abstruse Tales

said His brother William. a profes.

to say it with a clearness, simplicity
and directness that is the despair Of
those of us who have received our
training in a different school,"

that James dictated his novels while
lying In hammock. He would start

worth your while, Owen, to read the
two unfinished novels Of Henry James,
because there is printed with them the
notes which James made before and
during the progress of their writing.

to -.aint the picture Of a nonproducer
in the midst of a commercial world.
This is what The Ivory Tower is
about, and he gives us the beginnings
of a story in which a young man with
no business experience inherits the
fortune of an uncle and loses 1t
through the dishonesty of a man whom
he trusts. But one does not feel that
his characters are real people. They
are distractions trigged out in human
garb and pulled by the strings which
their creator has attached to them.
The elaborate analysis Of their emo
tions which constitutes the greater
part of the story does not make them
convincing. They are the product Of
laboratory and nothing else"
