BY THE NEA BOOK SURVEY

OF the new novelists America has
produced in the last few seasons we
believe the most important to be
Julia Peterkin, Elizabeth MADDOX
Roberts, Glenway Wescott, Thorn
ton Wilder, Ernes. Hemingway, and
Marie de la Roche.
Wescott's 1.-THE Grandmothers,"
and Miss Roberts INV Heart and
Flesh" compete strongly for first
place among the novels Of 1927.
Certainly young Wescott wrote q
mighty fine story and so did Miss
Roberts, though we cling to her
first work, 1.-THE Time Of Man., as
being one Of the contemporary
classics.
The general selection seems to
favor one or the other Of these two
books. But, with no intent to start
any arguments, our own taste leans
toward Mrs. Peterkin's "Black APP
ril." This Southern woman started
with those fine darkey stories,
Green Thursdays" Her "Black
April" is q particularly excellent
novel Of negro life. She can write
and, one Of these days, everyone will
find it out.
Hemingway, perhaps, should not
be listed with newcomers. He had
already been known for his short
stories before "Men Without
Women" appeared, just a. Louis
Bromfield, author Of 1.-THE Good Wo-
man." had been shouted over be-
