BY ALAN CALMER
WE ARE TIE LIVING, by Erskine
Caldwell. The Viking Press. 81.


Caldwell. The Viking Press. 81.
One of the most promising signs
in contemporary American literature
IS the leftward journey OF q large
number Of young men Of letters.
This is especially apparent among the
creative prose writer's of the newest
generation. Authors like John Herr
mann, Edward Dahlberg. Erskine
Caldwell, Robert Cantwell-whose
writings are prize products Of the
latest fiction crop il this country-are
close syrlpsthizers Of the Commu-
mist movement.
Everyone Of them is rooted firmly
in American soil, everyone Of them
knows the life Of the American
masses at first hand, and everyone
OF them possesses a healthy and TO-
bust attitude toward the social prob
lens Of our age. Not only is it i'm
portant that these writers of the first
rank are travelling in the direction
OF the revolutionary proletariat, but
1t is even more significant that this
social direction is the only one which
offers them the opportunity for in
tellectual and creative growth today.
At the same time, this leftward
path Is not a polished boulevard
along which these authors may skim
straight to their destination. It is
little more than pioneer trail, wind
ing through forests and across noun
tainS, skirting quicksands and preci-
pices, and surrounded by an inf
nate number Of known and unknown
dangers.
Path to Proletarian Literature
1t takes CUTS to venture along this
path which leads to proIetarian lit
erature. American authors whose
background and outlook have been
more or less unconsciously bourgeois
in character, cannot complete this
hazardous journey over night. It
takes a long time before these au-
thors became accustomed to the new
surroundings along the way, before
they know them as intimately as
their earlier environment.
Caldwell himself has pointed this
out in a review which appeared in
the New Masses "At our present
stage" he said, we find that we can
only begin where our previous ex-
istence dumped us. We were dumped
by a capitalist system on hard
ground, and here we lie. Our first step
is now being taken; we are scattered,
broken, and bewildered; we are lift
ing our heads and looking ahead into
the future"
The stories collected in "We Are
the Living" show that Caldwell has
not gone far in his movement to the
left. But this must be said: he is
moving in that direction.
Has Left HardboiIed School
To begin with, Caldwell seems to
have broken away from the influ-
ence Of the hardboiled manner, which
tainted some of his earlier work. This
hardboiled mood, which found its
beginning in Hemingway and also in
the American newspaper, is a direct
reflection of the period of decadent
capitalism in which it arose. It's de-
vice Of cutting off action from feel
ing, Of draining all emotion out OF a
narrative, Of presenting all events in
coldblooded manner, of beating all
incidents down to a common level
is conspicuously absent in I'VE Are
