mony of circumcision of the ado

will inevitably attract more public

bulk Of the volume is given to de-
scribing various episodes in the daily

tribe.

Nv.
Later we get a magnificent de-
scription OF the festival and dance:
a masterpiece OF restrained, careful
writing worthy of Flaubert. 1t is
too long for quotation-and some
times a little too racy. though the
sensuality and reek of the thing is
never anything but the normally
savage. unashamed, natural man
without any of the reticences of civit-
zation. Batouala's suspicious of his
favorite wife and the lusty youth
Bissibingui are aroused, and he de-
termines TO kill. So. too. does the
youngster. Each plots how it can be
done without danger.
Then comes the hunt. with he

slowly ripped his victim open. and
tore it to pieces" When you imI-
tated him, what you did was TO
hide yourself on a black night in the
brush bordering the path along
which your victim was going to
come. You wore a mask. and waited.
There-a mighty leap. You had him
on the ground. You choaed HIN to

death. Then with jagged knife or
a sharp stone or your nails you slit
open the veins of his neck, as the
panther did; you tore him limb from
limb as the panther did"
Bissibingui's plans were similar,
but neither came of, since a real
panther interrupted and clawed Ba-
touala's belly open, after which came
a lingering, hideous death.
That is enough to give something
of the quality of the book. But in
addition to the rank human material
thero is also an uncanny feeling OF
the forest, the jungle, of the wild
beasts, the ciamorous birds, the heat
and storms. Here again NJ. Maran
is a master of words. But his chief
service is in the unsparing, brilliant.
full colored portrayal of the unci7ii-
lied men and women-with all their
cruelty, meanness. brutality, unre-
strained passions, and also with a
touch of the new vices they are
acquiring from the white man, espe-
cially in the form Of absinthe and
disease. 1t is a picture OF un-
paralleled grimness.
Civilization" NJ. Maran cries out
in his preface, pride Of the Euro

kingdom on corpses. Whatever you
wish, whatever you do. you move in

prevailing over right. You are not
a torch. you are a confiagration."
To which lurid burst of rhetoric
it might be retorted that, even if it
were measurably true Gas it is not. in
any such sense) it is still difficult to
see how unmitigated savagery is any
better. The gushing tears" and
"shrieks of agony" are not lacking.
according TO NJ. Maran's own ac-
count, without the white mans aid.
And there is. in fact. somewhat more
TO civilization than trade gin, slavery,
disease and injustice.
There can. however. be no question
at all but that in NJ. Maran the negro
race has at last a writer and poet OF
a high order. His book is unquali-
