Vogobond Path
By James Grdu.

By James Gray. Macmillan,
Ne1D York.
For his third novel Mr.. Gray has
chosen to write about the rhine
stone qualities of the stage and its
entourage. His playwright is forced
to breathe the air of satiric intel
lectualism and take gin with raw
egg breakfasts. With a little less
polish and quite a bit more earth
iness this story would become some
thing digestible. But as it is, the
book fails to make interesting
enough reading.
Michael Fontaine is the play
wright and itterateur whose life
becomes the "Vagabond Path"
Michael, son OF q rugged, frontier
breaking judge and his too finely
cultured wife, is the outstanding
literary figure of his day. But sue
cess has come too easily. Through
out his life he is always looking
back, trying to pick up the pieces
that would make his life mean
something to himself. However, he
is continually trapped by his own
weakness.
To those who dote on the New
Yorker type of wit this story will
be must. The rest of the reading
public, though, need not look for
more than perfect technique.
