When he first reported the antipodes

What he had seen was more interest

Dom Byrne has brought life to
Marco Polo. In this story he becomes
a man with a clearly outlined figure.
He is shown first as a young man
caught by the wanderlust of Spring.
The story is told by old Malachi OF the

A Poet Writes a Novel
THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM BY

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM. BY
Stephen Vincent Benet. Henry Holt
& Co.
THE vogue Of the novel of ado
lesccnce continues unabating.
= And Stephen Vincent Benet,
author of "The Beginning Of Wisdom" T"
must inevitably stand as one of the
leaders in this particular branch OF
the younger rcalist school. His book,
frank 10 the point of brutality ana
honest TO The point of, auda city. is an
amazing exposition of ultra-modern
American life. The hero, introduced
at birth in Prologue to Philip, is
carried swiftly from infancy to child
hood, from childhood &c boyhood-the
latter half of the story being picture
, of his life as a young man IN con-
temporary America. wrestling with the
usual subtle problems of life that con-
front a sensitive genius.
Brilliantly portrayed, Philip rs a
very authentic person. True, Mr..
Benet goes rather far in his extracts
of Philips young poems-there are at
in the book-and Philips reactions
are at times scarcely coherent. The
great strength of the story: however,
lies in it's vital truth and in the poetic
beauty that consistently distinguishes
the writing. The passa ges descriptive
of Philips school life, which have ap-
peared already in magazines, are
easily the most sustained and salts
factory part of the story. Fitzgerald
is surpassed in Mr. Benet's visualiZa-
ton of life in the classroom. His
irony is scathing and merciless, neither
pupils nor teachers being exempt. He
cuts through the pettifoggery of the
conventional education system with
the precision of lance and the sting
of a whiplash
Original in text and treatment, the
book is least Of all conventional in it's
structure. The narrative is recounted
in almost every form known to utter

Dom Byrne has created the illusion
of medieval life. In many ways Marco
Polo is so modern that it is hard to
believe that he left for Asia in the year
in which Lief Ericsson discovered
cient that it seems almost incredible
that he returned from Cathay in the
year in which Wycliffe perished. Dom
Byr1e does not ask us to believe these
things. However, he transfers Ii Po
from the eighth century to the court
of Kublai Khan. He has made the
poet Ii Pc live again. but his chro-
nology is as vague and fantastic as an
ancient map, with elephants and two
headed men in the unknown regions.
Basil King, author of "The Empty

literary recipe for writing novel;
Show the drama of people fighting
the battle with circumstances and win
ming It," In regard TO pointing a
moral Mr.. King says: Material con-
ditions being no more than the whet-
stone of character il is a poor tool
that is broken IN the sharpening The
only resemblance to moral I ever
have in view Is the edge to which an
instrument of fine quality can be
brought when pressed against the
erindstone."

'The Wasted Generation" is a chal-

Amerieanism, and its discussion of the
vital problems that America faces, wholly
apart from the literary artistry of its
engrossing tale. makes II a great book.
