and reader. To examine this
tenuous contact thoroughly, the
author has had to consider a
number of collateral matters
which are relevant to the inquiry
Why are novels written? What
goes into them-how much of the
writer's personality, how much OF
his outside observation? Why do
people read them? What do they
get out Of them?

A Mythical Olympic
Game Champion

GEOROlE
BY David Walker. (Houghton-
Mi17in; $780,
The shotput may seem one OF
the more stolid feats of strength
at a track meet, hardly approach
ing the excitement of the sprints
or even the high Jump and the
pole vault. But Mr.. Walker has
built the climax of this novel
around the shotput at mythical
Olympic Games in Boston. And he
has made the event thrilling. A
competitor is Geordie MacTag-
CART, a giant from the Scottish
highlands. Geordie was a wee lad
undersized at IA, but he worked
so hard at developing his muscles
that he grew up huge. His
prowess and his love idyl have the
naive success formula of a novel
for juveniles. But Mr.. Walkers
sly humor and his skill at mar
rative redeem the story from
banality and give 1t charm.
