Nick Gordon, departing from the
tradition that he should have a
half finished novel or play tucked
away among the handouts in his
top drawer, is a poet, with one WELL
received volume to his credit. His
affairs reach crisis after the death
of his wife in childbirth, when he
rather uneasily accepts the loving
comfort of Sunday department
colleague.
Mr.. Todrin, who is himself poet
and an encouragement, writes
convincingly of the city room, ex-
cept for occasional lapses into an
awe-stricken tone, and tenderly of
his hero's after-hours problems.
The trouble is that the topical and
emotional themes refuse to blend
and remain entirely separate. He
has rather anticipated such criti-
cism by showing that Nick wants to
keep his personal life apart from his
work. That's a pretty good excuse,
but an excuse after all. Mr.. Todrin
loves his newspaper better than his
novel. M. McG.

DifferentKind of Newspaper Novels Obit

THE PLUNDERED HEART

THE PLUNDERED HEART
BY Boris Todrin. (E. P. Dutton.
This novel is really an obituary
for a newspaper which sounds very
much like PM, that New York tab
loid of many causes which recently
underwent a change of name and
management. Mr.. Todrin is obvl-
ously very much in sympathy with
the crusading spirit in journalism
and draws an almost worshipful
portrait of tall, shambling evan
gelical founding editor, who will
not be hard to identify. He calls
his man William Ward O'Neil. and
| the rather mild suspense OF his
novel derives from O'Neil's battle,
on his return from the wars, with
more commercial-minded editors
who have fostered compromise in
the editorial columns and cheese
cake on the back pages during his
absence. The showdown comes on
the question Of taking advertising.

here-was a different kind of news

Proust was laboriously trying to
enter at that time, the better to
record its follies.
M. Proust's characters are so effete
it seems that the slightest zephyr in
the garden of Versailles would carry
them off. He prefers, however, to
administer the coup de grace in
each case with some exquisite,
glancing epigram. His descriptions
of beautiful scenes are like pastel
landscapes, full of signs and statu-
airy. His writing has all the ele-
gance of brocaded coat with lace
at the wrists. 1t is very beautiful
and is perhaps best approached in
spirit of connoisseurship.

COTTON IN MY EARS


BY Frances Warfield. 1.-THE Vik-
ing Press: $2.75.)
When Frances Warfield was a
little girl, she was sure her aunts
would send her away to the Charity
Guild if they discovered that she
couldn't hear. That dread of being
rejected haunted her all through
her adolescence and young woman
hood and in social life made per-
ilous by the fear of BEND found
out, she lodged and improvised to
keep people from knowing she had
cotton in her ears" She became
a veritable Scheherezade at dinners
and dances to avoid having to pre-
tend that she heard the tormenting
low voices of "shybirds, mealy-
mouths, deadpans and lazydogs,
Pride kept her from wearing the
hearing aid that she thought would
transform her into "a mechanical
monster" A stubborn hope of mi
racles kept her from learning lip
reading and sent her through
heart breaking and futile series OF
calcium, iodine, ultraviolet, cold
shots. vitamins, osteopathy, deep
breathing exercises and leeches
When she finally faced the fact
that her refusal to accept her con-
dition was making her neurotic
she acceded to the hearing-aid and
found out that her painfully con-
cealed deafness was indeed the
worst kept secret of her life.
Cotton in My Ears" is light
determinedly nonscientif1c presen-
;ation of the plight of a handi-
capped person. but so graphic is its
presentation of the panic and isola-
ton of the hard of hearing that
it has the effect of making you raise
your voice and speak clearly.

The doctors gave Rita Ormond
six months to live, but three years
later she was still among those
present. If she had died on sched-
ule, the fatal poison might never
have been stolen, her husband would
have been happily married to Linda

have been living elsewhere on the

matters even more uncomfortable,
some supernatural force seemed to
be operating in Rita's behalf. There

carrying the poison around. She
would take care of Rita personally
But the twins died and Rita lived.
The explanation of it all leaves one

Nine. Kuzminskaya carries her
memories back to her ancestry and
includes much information that
seems trivial and tiresome, but in
the passages relating to her fire.
quent visits to Yasnaya Polyana,
Tolstoys country estate, the multi
tudinous details build up to a COM
plete background of that abundant
life. The singing, the reading aloud,
the hunting, the amateur theatricals
all reused Tolstoy's vociferous inter-
est. Although he was then writing
War and Peace" he was subject to
many passing enthusiasms relating
to agriculture and education. Per-
haps the most interesting illustra-
ton of his temperament is an Incl
dent of the hunt which she gives.
Tanya's saddle girth was loosened.
She was nearly thrown and chung
precariously to the horses neck. Her
brother -in-law, a passionate hunts
man galloped by, shouted encour-
agement, but did not return until he
had spotted the quarry.
"Tolstoy as I Knew Him." which
was first published in 1925 in Rus
STA, has the authentic Russian soul.
Tanya's near-fatal passion for Toll
stoys brother is described with a
forthrightness and power worthy of
first-rate Russian novel. Beyond
that, there is the endless introspec-
ton, the profound discussions of life
and death that always spring up
around the samovar, the intense
declarations of strong emotion
Further flavor - and unexpected
reading difficulties-arise from the
double barreled Russian names.
Tanya was too young to appraise
Tolstoy, too fond and too impressed
to criticize him. Her great contri-
button lies in her vivacious side
lights on his character and her rev.
elation of many episodes used by
Tolstoy in his novels. He seems to
have borrowed literally from life
for both character and incident,
which may account in part for the
tremendous vitality of his work.
