KANSAN'S FIRST
Michael Amrine has hewed
his first novel. "All Sons Must
Saw Goodby" (Harper G. Broth
ers: $3.50, out of his own ex-
perience.
This is not 10 say that the
book is photographed, for 1t
undoubtedly is not. But it is an
honest story of young America,
written by young man who,
at "a. wildly remembers his
own boyhood and growing up,
both of which were rooted deep
in the Kansas country where his
scene is set.
The story of Roger Wendell is
the story of an entire section OF
American youth, written frank
ly and well. The inevitable
clash between Roger and his
straight-laced parents; the heal
ing philosophy of Whitley, the
agnostic; Rogers misunderstood
love for Agnes; the soaring
adventure of college and finally
the experience Of w a c h n &
death win his uneven struggle,
all ring true.
A fine flair for words, an ex-
cellent sense of the dramatic
and a genuine ability to portray
character combine to make this
an unusual first novel.
