PATTEN's QUEER BOOK
Mud Hollow" Is Half Novel
and Half Sociological
.iscuSsion

II DR.. Simon N. Pattcn were q great
literary artist he could have done what
he set out to do in "Mud Hollow"
(Dorrance Company. But be is a po-
litical economist and not literary
artist and. therefore. he has failed to
do what would have exhausted the fa-
cilities of a literary genius.
lie has sought to tell the story Of the
intellectual. social and emotional de-
velopment of the West in novel. If
he had left the story out and had made
his book historical instead Of fictional
he could have done something that
would have commanded attention.
As novel the book Is not worthy Of
serious discussion. 1t is awkward in
plot. Its characters are not real, its
action Is slow and 1t ends in the air.
Novel writing was so difficult TO DR..
Patten that he attempted it for only
half Of his book. The second half is
discussion pure and simple. with oc-
casional illusions to the story Of the
first part.
He says that the West is Scotch in
thought. Irish in action and Methodist
in emotion. and he develops this theory
In the second part of the book. In the
course Of 1t he declares that New Eng
land has been OH the wrong side of all
great issues since the Revolution and
that the New Englanders who migrated
westward changed their point of view
with the change Of their environment
But. unfortunately. persons interested
In such matters will not buy his book
for they are not novel readers. and
novel readers are not likely to buy it
because the book is not really novel.
In his concluding chapter DR.. Pat.
ten confesses that the book has been
rejected by publishers who insist that
there is only one kind of a novel and his
book is not that kind. just as critics
condemned his book Of hymns because
there are only six kinds Of poetry and
the hymns did not belong to any Of the
kinds. However clear his vision may be
on matters Of economies, DR.. Patten
evidently is blind to literary distinc.
tions. Otherwise he would not have
written his book In the way he has nor
would he have damned those who tell
him that he has not written a novel.
But. after all. the book will repay
reading by those interested in sociology.
II they can have patience with the crude
hctional form of the first part.

poses the questions: "1s the modern ku

The result of his researches and in
