DR.. Canby's Essays

DEFINITIONS. BY Henry Seidel Candy.
Harcourt Brace & Co.
TN this delightful set of essays Mr..
Candy does not chat much about
particular books or authors, nor in
deed does he conf1ne himself to literature,
though he looks at American life through
a literary lens. He has chosen his title
because his essays, he says. are content
with. question mark, and to appraise
rather than weigh Yet often one would
like to hand SO keen an eye pair OF
scales. Here is lot of ferment, he says,
with too frequent caution; no one knows
Just what this ferment is doing but it is
significant of something, and that some
thing may be good: and movements are
always more significant than movers. One
wishes he would allow his ego to frisk
more and take a chance on what the
ferment is fermenting into. But one sees in
such book with so discreet a writer how
thoroughly Freud has altered our nomen-
clature and how diagnosticians, the fas-
tidious as well as the sensational, seize
upon his vocabulary to fill long felt
void. Mr. Candy thinks that it is the
suppressed idealism of the American which
takes refuge in sentimental fiction and
prefers sweetness to truth; that the Amer
ican fondness for vacationing and for ma
ture books arises through the descendants
of pioneers desiring to plunge into their
subconscious; that in literature as in life
we are afflicted with that complex of
democracy-a distrust of the best. AS for
the American temper, it is willfully ideal
istic determined at all costs to appear in
nocent and to insist that whatever appears
otherwise Is un-American. Few, he says,
are willing to criticize modern life. We
