Among
the Authors
By CoroIyn Coaqins

Jessamyn West came to see us in
San Francisco. That is how we
discovered that those of us who
have become enthralled with "The
Friendly Persuasion" have her great
grandfather to thank. 1t was he
who lived in Indiana and had such
gorgeous illustrated catalogue of
the fruit trees sold from his nurs-
cries that the granddaughter still
cherishes leather-bound copy of it
Jessamyn was six years old when
she left Indiana. Now she is a
pleasantly rounded, slender woman
tall and hazel-eyed. She has brown
hair, a serene face and a rather
emphatic way of pronouncing her
words. She looked very stylish in a
warm brown suit and a tall, close
fitting hat, as we sat looking out
over the lighted hills of the city.
She married the minute she was
through Whittier College in South
ern California to beau likewise
graduating. She has been Mrs. Nc
Pherson for 10 years now. All this
time she thought about stories but
did not get down to the business of
writing them. Eventually she de-
cided to get her doctors degree in
Berkeley and instead of getting it
she became i'll. Four years of this
painful ordeal caused her to begin
writing the stories in her head. She
wrote spasmodically at first and was
always too shy to send them out.
Her husband urged her not to be
afraid to let other people see them
to send out what she had written
But even he was not prepared for
his first experience of having writ
ing wife. The first story sold to a
Communist magazine. Although il
was not tale with a political angle
the party members decided to well
come her as one of them. Since the
McPhersons had just moved to Napa
where he was to be principal of the
schools when. this happened, pol
ltlcs, especially those he had no as
soclation with, could offer compli-
cations. He decided he had enough
responsibilities GREATER she
would be Jessamyn West, which was
her maiden name.
When the publisher offered her a
contract for The Friendly Persua
sion" she only had five stories about
the Quaker family written. Tc
write enough more to make book
she then began writing each day

II write slowly and without en-
joyment and think it all out before
hand says Elizabeth Taylor. If
such grim sounding literary pro-
cedure is the secret of producing a
book as fine as AT Mrs. Lippin-
cotes," it's pity that more would
be writers don't write slowly and
without pleasure.
Mrs. Taylor has not written a
conventional novel. Instead Of a
coat rack of a plot, on which the
characters and situations are hung
Or fung-she gives us action
which unfolds simply and naturally
out of her people. For this is one
of those rare and wonderful books
about people, and what they do be-
comes significant only because of
what they are.
The story is about Julia Dave
nant, wife of Roddy Davenant, an
RAF Junior officer. Roddy has
rented Mrs. Lippincote's house for
himself, Julia, their son, Oliver, who
says he is but backward for his
age, and Roddys maiden cousin,
Eleanore. Although all the char
acters are full-rounded and three
dimensional, it is the direct and
candid Julia whom YOU know best.
In her prose style Mrs. Taylor
is always sure-footed, never stum-
bling, never slap-dash-always re-
strained yet always adequate. An
amazing clarity of observation
makes her attention to detail me-
ticulous, yet it is never fussy. Above
all, she has an extraordinary gift
for integrating the realism of life
with the beauty of art. She has so
we'll mastered the technique of COM
preston that she can combine a
delicious sense of humor with a
striking perception of the sources of
human reactions.
Elizabeth Taylor does not write
for entertainment value" Her
point of view is not commercialized.
She writes because she has some
thing to say. She offers her art to
her reader casually-as one adult
to another.

The novel about the adolescent is
q regularly appearing item in the
publishing trade. "A reviewer usually
describes it as "sensitive"- when it
contains an account of a specific
young unhappiness which is close to
general experience-and leaves it at
that. He does not expect more of
the trade article, where the pattern
is to give us an individual boy or
girl and stretch him or her out to
meet typical series Of experiences.
The interest in such works is the
character, who nonetheless can sell
dom be genuinely interesting for the
very reason of being made to con-
form SO limitedly to type.
None of this is true of Carson Nc
Cullers' THE Member of the We'd
ding" 1t is novel of adolescence
itself, not of a particular adolescent
child. Adolescence is it's main char
acter-the shocking thing, the ter
Irible thing, the green time, the
crude meeting of childhoods care
fully nurtured illusions with ma
turity's unknown realities, the up
boiling surge of hope, pride and
misery, the dreadful gaucherie put
ting its weight on the new conscious
ness of integrity; it is of all this
aWfulness that Miss McCullers
writes her thoroughly tragic book
of, as I said, the aWfulness itself and
not of a stylized individual expert
encing it. What she has produced
is profound and masterful work of
art. Beside it the usual sensitive"
treatise is reduced to the thinness of
ink on paper.
But, though Miss McCullers ties
her story to one child, she does not
limit 1t to the scope of one plausible
Ichild's plausibility. 1t would not do
to say that her frankie becomes a
symbol of all children. She becomes
symbol of the whole scope of the
emotions of her period of life She
is not person. She is a gathering
up of the darker streams of life
which run from infancy through
maturity, at the time when they are
at their strongest and, in our Pc
culiar society, their least valued.
Her conduct. therefore, is sometimes
outside the factually plausible. But,
as 1 said, Miss McCullers has been
creating living work of art, not
drawing a thin ink-on-paper out
line. The power of her work is
great and in that work she reafhrms
the already extraordinary evidence
of artistry.

Norman Anthony says he made
about S250,000 as editor of that
phenomenal humorous magazine of
the '3Os. Ballyhoo. He also made
considerable amount of money
during his editorships of both Judge
and the old Life magazine.
He drove in chaufeured limou-
sines, played the horses, drank an
amazing amount of liquor, supported
a couple of wives, two children and
his parents; lived in swank elegance
sometimes. Other times he was
completely broke. Either way, Mr.
Anthony always managed to have
rip-roaring good time in the city
he loved-New York.
Once he put $4,000 into Broad
way show, but that didn't turn out
SO hot The capacity take" of the
Forty-fourth Street Theater, with
every seat sold, was $4,000 a week;
his weekly overhead was $4,000.

The Golden Coin
By Lin Taiyi. (Day; S2.75.)
Reuiemed hu
LUCY McCLENON


Sincerity in writing is certainly a
fine thing. If logical thought, strong
emotion or profound idea can be
transmitted with sincerity to the
reader, the reader ought in turn to
be stimulated, moved or inspired.
But sometimes writer of promise,
imbued with sincerity and zeal, tries
too hard to fulfill some imagined
mission. Lin Taiyi, daughter Of
Lin Yutang, here strives all too dill
gently for significance.
She takes two characters and tries
to make them symbols-one, of illit-
crate idealism, the other of intel
lectually produced sterility. They
marry, and, in an attempt at real
ism, they are allowed human in
consistencies, thereby losing much
of their symbolic power. The sup
posed idealist, Sha, enters marriage
calculatingly. The ideals of ma
chine like scientist, Lang, however,
are at first more discernible than
hers.
The book consists of the struggle
between the two temperamentS,
which becomes increasingly tense
after the birth of their second child
Lucky Loo's arrival is followed by a
series of miraculous, or strangely
coincidental happenings. Lang's
latent cruelty and deceit are en-
ployed in his efforts to break down
Sha's blind faith in her boys powers.
She is almost equally hateful crow
ing over miracles and haunting Lang
at every turn. BY the time the end
comes neither character is sympa-
thetic, and a reader is not apt to
care too much one way or the other
That is the saddest thing about the
book, for the young writer Is still
writing and still sincere and wants
desperately to make point of some
kind, whatever 1t Is.
