Strange Book
By "Hunger's" Author.
PAN by Knut Hamsun. (Alfred A

PAN by Knut Hamsun. (Alfred A.
Knopf)
Pan" contains enough of that
morbidness which is so everlastingly
present in the pages of Hunger
to set in vivid contrast the passages
in which Hamsun expresses his love
and understanding Of wild nature.
What takes the book decisively out
of the class Of writing in which ma
ture is loved almost to death and
man is made almost perfect by his
contact with 1t is the fact man is
not glorified and saved from the cor
rupt artificialities Of civilization. It
Is interesting to speculate on how
the popular nature novelist would
have written this story. 1t is safe
to say that the daughter Of the vii
lage merchant, who is drawn to
Claim by an attraction she does not
comprehend. would in the end be-
come transformed by. that myster-
tous power which sets Claim Off
from his fellows and is the control
ling force in his life. Thereupon
she would go to live in the rude hut
with Claim having become the
female counterpart Of Pan. But
Hamsun Is not the conventional
writer Of the conventional story in
IN which the transcendent power of
nature conquers all things. Nor is
this the conventional fable of Pan,
for Pan Is in the end defeated.
Lieutenant Claim comes to an iso-
lated fishing village on the Norweg-
ian coast where he lives in a hut
with his dog Aesop winning his sus-
tenance with his gun. He falls in
-'e with Edwarda. the daughter of
the trader, who. at first attracted
tu him. is later repelled by his un-
accountable behavior when he at
tempts to join in the social activities
OF the village. Claim is unable
either to adapt himself to the en-
vironment in which Edwarda lives
or to recover the security and peace
OF which his love for this girl has
deprived him. HIS attempt to escape
from himself is failure and at last
he seeks death and finds II. Such is
the story Hamsun tells in this ex-
book--a strange porduet
of realism applied to romantic
theme.

amazing knowledge Of human ma
ture. More than that, he writes the
English language with ease and
simplicity. and knows how to handle
plot. The stories in Carter run all
the way from the tale of an Irish
American who accidentally saw the
war to that of a woman who has
killed her husband. There are buns
and trsmps and bartenders in the
volume, but there are also college
professors, millionaires and beau
tifu ladies. And they are real,
astonishing real, so that their stories
are astonishingly interesting. Carter
is pleasantly different from the usual
pattern of our, short stories. It is
worth anyone's while who wants to
be entertained or who appreciates
individuality in fiction.
