The Double Man
By w. H. Auden. Ne1D Yorl

DS " a. N@NN'S' A'SN q ~ 'S'
Random House.
With each successive volume OF
his verse, Mr.. Auden establishes
more firmly his position as one OF
the excellent living English poets.
He has passed the promising stage.
He is now unquestionably one of
the voices Of our time.
But that is a mournful inherit
ance for a poet. 1t is, one might
say, a bitter assignment. Mr..
Auden's great gifts seem destined
to be used to celebrate only pes
simisms-failures omissions, falli-
bilities. So they have been used,
though sometimes lightly, in his
earlier volumes, and so they are
used here, but with increasing dis
illusion and ever more mastery
technique. The work consists Of
one long poem and several short
ones; the long piece is called New
Year Letter and is Mr.. Audens
summation of the position of mod
ern man in relation to the state, to
nature, to society and to himself.
Viewed as poetry, it would seem
to the reviewer TO be one of the
fine productions of the English
language Stylistically, it is a de-
light. Taking the iambic tetrameter,
which, in the hands of earlier poets,
has been made to perform spirited
and noble dance, Mr.. Auden moves
the meter before us in an ironic
parody of its past freedom. He
makes it proceed angularly, he de-
liberately cripples it a little in its
motion to accord with the state of
the human spirit which he is de-
scribing, he imparts his minor strain
to his rhythms even as to his sense.
His mastery of this delicate tech
nical feat is altogether admirable
is, indeed. perfect.
AS thinking, as philosophy, the
poem says about what the dis
couraged minds of civilized men
and women everywhere are think
ing-that there is no spiritual GER
tainty and that man, confronted on
all sides by doubts, has become
divided creature, impotent, fright
ened and ashamed. He turns round
and round looking for recogniz-
able spiritual landmarks, but the
trail of his revolutions becomes ever
narrower. He moves on himself
more and more and yet knows that
he has no real center, either in
faith or in reliable knowledge. This
idea Mr.. Auden develops with
mordant wit, with mocking de-
spair. with ironical resignation. He
has written poem of the intellect,
but it is still a poem, and it's life
therefore is that of the spirit.
A large section of the volume
given over to notes on this poem
must certainly be mentioned. The
Letter" itself abounds in references
direct and indirect to works of other
writer's, vast array from Plato to
T. S. Eliot. And, in his Notes"
under the pleasant pretense of
clarifying these references, Mr..
Auden has provided his own COM
ment on his own work, superbly
ironical document.
The work is certainly one of the
most significant pieces of the poetic
writing of our day. No one who
understands the reach Of modern
literature should fall TO read It.

From the day of publication, "Out
of the Night" by Jan Valtin, has
been the center of a raging contro-
versy regarding its authenticity.
1t was rumored that Jan Valtin

but never wrote the book. Later,
that he did write the book but could
not possibly have lived the fantastic
adventures he recounts. Now that
America 8 greatest critics and public
figures vehemently proclaim them
selves convinced of the books au-
thenticity, Jan Valtinis beingsavage-
ly attacked by the sinister forces he
exposes with such merciless detail.
Not in decades has a book aroused
such powerful reactions. Millions of
words of praise, amazement and
feverish excitement have burst forth
in book review and editorial columns
throughout the nation, on the radio
even from the pulpit-acclaiming
Jan Valtin's work as Americas most
timely and momentous eye-opener.
Father II. A. Reinhold, famous
founder of the "Apostolate of the
Sea-" writes in the March 2S, 1941
issue of The Commonweal:. "Ham-
