This novel is nothing more than
a series of humorous anecdotes, but
the anecdotes are so good that 1t
would take a Grabbed soul. indeed,
to demand more. They are woven
together around the adventures of
pair of modern American wan
derers, or escapists if you will. the
one having it on his mind to escape
from his memories Of an unhappy
marriage and the other more
piognantly concerned with side
stepping the law. They hitchhike
through the Southwest and talk
to each other or listen to the tales
of other travellers. Bye and bye,
their troubles are solved and they
settle down again to normal living.
The very slight continuity which
runs through the episodes comes
from the circumstance that the
married one of the pair. in his
he becomes convinced that, by
mental control alone. he can float
through the air. His friend hears
this fantastic notion with grave
sympathy, and some of the most
hilarious passages in the book
describe the young mans efforts to
rise. literally, above his grief.
But in the main. the thing is
true picturesque. American and
modern to be sure. light and casual,
too, but touched with that impos-
sible quality of freedom and wonder
which sets the genuine tale of the
road apart from all other kinds OF
writing. NC. r.

chester Guardian, the London Ma
ton, the New Leader and the New
Statesman. He has been known as
a frequent critic of British govern

amounts to a plea to our own Gov

Fascism through in the interest of
better world for the future. His
persuasive powers are smooth and
he leads up to his proposal very
gently. If we do not come in now,
We will have to fight alone, in the
