"Clara" Is q novel that should
appeal deeply to q large num-
ber Of readers.
It Is the best novel to come
out of the South in a long time.
1t is more than that. for, while
its story could have happened
only in the South, its roots are
more fundamental and spread
beyond sectional customs and
prejudices. People are people,
after all. and their basic emo
tions are much the same. And,
in his quiet, easy way, Mr..
Coleman has dug out elemental
conflicts Of character.
CLARA" is concerned with
average, midd1e-class Alabam-
ans. The story is told by
Lillian, who was brought up on
a farm near the small town of
Puma. On a visit to her mar
ried sister in the larger town Of
Bloomingdale Lillian met Carl,
and they were married the next
summer.
From the time Lillian went
as a bride to Carl's home in
Bloomingdale she found the
Negro maid and cook, Clara. a
problem. Clara had been there
during Carl'S mothers lifetime
and was strangely close to Carl.
There seemed to be an instinc-
tive dislike between the bride
and her new servant. Mean
while, Clara's marriage.brought
bitter disillusion. Her husband.
she found. was under some
battling compulsion and he
could be intimate only when he
was drunk and then he was
brutal. The trouble, she later
learned. was his mother, q
holier-than-thou person who
gave him a dreadful conception
of the universally of sin. Carl,
a prosperous young man, who
owned three food stores, became
q periodic alcoholic.
Knew No Color Line.
When. several years later,
Lillian discovered Gas the reader
will surmise from the first) that
Clara's child was also Carl's son,
the outraged wife drove the
young colored women and her
little boy out of the house. And
yet, in the end Clara and the
boy returned. No one but Clara
could nurse Carl through his
terrifying sprees. Lillian hated
Clara. or thought she did, and
yet gradually, inescapably. over
the years. their lives drew closer.
Meanwhile Lillian, childless,
turned to her sisters second
son, Randall. whose mother
lavished all her attention
on her first childs Aunt
Lillian became closer to Randall
than his mother as he grew up.
During this time Randall and
Clara's son. Pete, were play
mates and. as adolescents, in
separable companions: there
was never o color line between
them.
Tolerant Understanding.
Lillian starts her story in 1890
and continues 1t at intervals for
80 years. It ID as If she set
down the various portions dur
ing the years indicated, for you
can feel her development, her
growth in maturity and toler-
ance and the broader education

Due on March 18 and embel-

series Of special interviews
granted the author by the Presi-
dent, and an examination of
Mr.. T1uman's private papers,
diaries and correspondence COW
ering the period up to 1949.
Considering the howl raised
by other correspondents when
Mr.. Truman gave an exclusive
interview to New York Times
Writer Arthur Krock, it seems
likely that they will not take too
kindly to the idea of the Presi-
dent giving a whole book to one

is not overly concerned. They
say It's too late.

comment to make at this time.
Poetry -Reodins Lovers
Have a Bone to Pick
People who love poetry read
ings-a small and particularly
unmenacing minority-are act
ing a little restive these days.
They feel like the patrons Of the
Capital Transit. who only want
the ride but who have to take
the music (not to mention the
commercially. too.
The trouble is they go to hear
their favorite verses read, and
find themselves swamped In
criticism. It happened twice
within q week, and, although
the poetry lovers are by nature
too meek to do anything about
1t, they did look hurt.
At the Yeats anniversary
reading, sponsored by the In

proportion Of poetry reading to
commentary was about 20-8O.
The next night, at the Library

analysis Of Edgar Allan Poe,
which the patrons found inter-

and there.
Certain disgruntled listeners
pointed out that when they
went to the symphony nobody
berated them with program
notes at the intermission, and
they didn't see why poetry low
ers couldn't have the same con-
sideration. We suggest that. in
order not to let the academic

give the audience what they
came for. voluminous critical

Dorothy Day
Writes Her
Story

zs.s n 4
THE LONG LONELINESS
The Autobiography Of Doro-
thy Day. fHGrper & Bros;
$780,
When Dorothy Day entered
the Catholic church. she did
not leave her radicalism at the
door. In fact. much Of her
hesitation centered around a
feeling Of guilt that in going
over to Rome she was "going
over to the opposition" Not
finding the spirit Of social JUS
tice she sought. she became
prime mover in the Catholic
Worker movement, q dynamic
program OF charity, based on
her great love Of the masses
which. while in some Of Its
practical phases q failure, has
had q great leavening influence.
Dorothy Days story Of con-
version differs notably from the
many such volumes now flow
ing OF the presses. For one
thing 1t is truly a confessional
document. She does not spare
herself: she does not Judge
others. Never a member of the
party, she worked hard for and
with Communists. And she was
q Bohemian who revelled in the
emancipated life Of a radical
journalist Of the '20s. It is this
honest self-searching which
gives her spare, strong narra-
tive its somber ring.
Between Man and God.
"God-haunted" from child
hood. she refused to accept the
faith in defeat and sorrow" ."
She held out during her hard
est times, In prison as . suf-
fragist agitator, and again
when arrested at an IWW
center. Strangely enough, it
was q love affair with an an
archist and agnostic which was
crucial In her search. Forster
awakened in her such q joy in
life and love that she felt she
must thank God. Her plain
style rises to lyricism when she
writes of this idyll on Staten
Island. When their child was
born, and she wanted her to be
baptized. it came literally to
the point where she must
choose between man and God.
Reconciliation came for her
when she met the French
peasant, Peter Maurin, like her
self. q pacif1st. who preached
a doctrine Of voluntary poverty,
and a life In which men would
be able. to fulfill themselves
and develop their capacities
for love and worship" They
published their paper, the
Catholic Worker. on a shoe
string. Their philosophy was
expressed in a no-questions-
asked charity, and at one time
C.. w. Houses Of Hospitality"
were strung out across the
country. Peter also believed in
the farm as a means Of. fur
thering "communitarianism.
Miss Day is frank to give in
stances of some conspicuous fail
ures In this effort. Inevitably the
movement attracted . represen-
tation from the lunatic fringe,
and eccentrics and ,crackpots
shouldered In, as well as dere-
1icts and elderly prostitutes
She has had to contend with
opposition from the clergy. She
does not sound discouraged.
Miss Day Is not always speci-
fic about the program or its
workings. Still an anarchist
and a pacif1st, she does seek te
impose her will on others. Ar
enemy Of the ''lukewarm," she
as q humanitarianist lives ane
let's live. Her great love anc
tolerance come through in hel
memoirs.
