Mississippian received the
Pulitzer Prize for his last years
novel, "A Fable" book previ-

the fiction prize Of the Ma

now there is justification for
those of us who were in a
minority in calling "A Fable"
Mr.. Faulkner's finest novel.
Historical novels did not
appear to be as numerous as
in former years. The most
ambitious is Thomas B. Co.'S

RATCHET IN THE SKY. BY
Margaret Cooper Gay. ISL
mon g. Schuster; $4.500
In recent years, the his
torical novel has become so
spicy as to be indigestible.
This book offers a pleasant
change. Solid history has not
been sighted and the story is
as wholesome and well
balanced as freshly baked
bread.
In 1853 a young Scotsman,
David Caithris, journeyed to
America to seek his fortune.
Shortly afterwards. France
and England began to try to
wrest Canada from the In
dlans.
AS a fur trader, who made
his headquarters in Detroit,
David is caught in the middle
of the struggle. The story
concerns the happenings that
befell him as he dealt with the
French, British and Indians.
Refreshingly enough, no
designing hussies in low-cut
bodices ever appear. Instead.
while tramping through the
vast forests, David fell in love
with a beautiful Indian maid
called Catherine.
Later. in Detroit. his affec-
lions turned to a stalwart
Virginia girl whose name was
fittingly Tranquility. During
this part of the novel, Miss
Gay believably pictures the
colonists, first under French
rule. then British, as they
Strove to lead their lives
among the bloodshed, greed
and uncertainty.
The numerous characters
and scenes seem historically
correct as we'll as very real.
If you like tales of red men
and red coats, tomahawks and
muskets - the days when
America meant adventure,
read "Hatchet in the Sky"

and as a durable prophet Of
doom. Two sentences quoted
at random will serve to re-
establish his credentials in
the latter field. In 1852 he
wrote to his equally gloomy

Of view, but with a willing

Thus she plots his mega

the lonely discomfort Of the
Civil War period spent in

fortunate years which ended
with the bafi1ing suicide of
his high-strung, witty wife,
who shared his rejection Of
orthodox religion: the fruit

ly the emergence from per-

high Middle Ages, as ex-

Toward the end OF his life.
at his home at 1903 II street
