This is a book of short stories
by the author of the novels, END
as a Man" and Geraldine Brad
shaw" 1t may be said at least
that some of the stories are more
diverting than either of the
novels. Mr.. Willingham has been
hailed by some critics as a rising
young star on the literary horizon;
it is difficult. after having read
both novels, to understand why.
There is a nice, ironical touch
in many of these stories. however,
especially in one like "The Wilby
Spirit" an impression of pep
rallies at a prep school. Guardian
Angel" is a mordant study of a
woman's attitude toward her in
sane husband-not far-fetched
either. The satirical intent seems
to run deep in Mr.. Willingham.
In Afternoon Sum-" oStenSibly an
objective story of a tragedy in a
small Southern town, all the peo-
pie, including the country club
set, talk like an exercise in South
ern accent and syntax written by
some one who had never been
south of Newark. Mr.. Willingham
is from the South and must know
that Georgians. who are portrayed
in this story, don't talk like that,
however peculiar some of their
actual argot may seem. 1t must
be assumed that the author paro-
died their speech and even their
ideas, which suggest a general
state of arrested development in
the town. Why he did this is far
from clear.
