Adolescence

DRIVES MY GREEN AGE,
by Josephine Carson (Har-
per; $3.50. is an uncom-
monty sensitive. close-to-
earth account Of an Adde'S
cent girl in a small town in
Kansas.
Chris'S parents are dead.
and she lives with an aunt
and uncle. The great event.
as the story opens, Is the
impending arrival Of the new
schoolteacher who comes.
with college degrees, from the
resplendence of Kansas City.
She is to room and board ut
the girls home. But when
she arrives. Chris. although
she has to admit the teacher
is pretty, is. for some un-
discernible reason, disap-
pointed. Chris and the
teacher don't hit 1t on too
well. at home or at school,
and later Chris finds reason
TO be further disillusioned
with the glamorous new
conner. The serious illness Of
Chris's best girl friend
further complicates her life.
Chris tells her own story.
There Is no little wry humor
and no lack Of interesting
episodes in her account. The
curious title Is q quotation
from Dylan Thomas.
This is Miss Carson's first
novel, and 1t is good enough
TO make her future work Of
special interest.

Among the above-men-

work with that from many

from items easily recognized
as beautiful and desirable, to
those which appear dull to
the layman, but which reveal

ness and insight that an OUT
slider. no matter how percep-

Thus we approached Sean
O'Faolain's THE VANISH
ING HERO (Atlantic-Little
Brown: t3.75) with great ex-
pectations. We were not dis
appointed. He studies eight
contemporary novelists both
candidly and cannily. He Is
generous In his praise where
he thinks 1t Is due. He In.
dulges in no back-scratching,
q practice that is unfortu-
nately in very wide usage
among novelists who write
about each others books for
the Sunday book review
sections.
OF william Faulkner
Mr.. O'Faolain's book Is q
collection Of essays based on
six lectures delivered at
Princeton in 1853. The gen.
eral matter is the work Of
major novelists Of the
twenties. The unifyinR theme.
and this is by no means
original, Is that none Of them
write Of men and women who
are heroes in the old sense Of
the word. What makes the
book interesting IL not this
thesis. but It's penetrating
analyses Of reimbursement
Illuminating In the case Of
william Faulkner: It's COM
passionate plumbing Of .
point Of view-most helpful
in the case Of Graham
Greene: its brilliant asides.
Being q Catholic himself,
Mr.. OFaolain IL able TO UNI
dorstand Mr.. oreene's par
ticular obsession a. few can.
In Greene. he sees drama
tiled the old-blightlng JAM
senist heresy that man Of
himself can do nothing. He
says Of Greene's characters:
%. / 80 20 far ~ to doubt

mogrified magically or mi

Genius W. Talent
Mr.. O'Faolain is refresh
ingly uawed by william
Faulkner who has been so
long the object Of an all
kneeling cult that simpler
souls who like q, clue IS to
what they are reading have
never been able TO Join.
More genius than talent"
Is his eplgraph for Mr..
Faulkner. He scouts many Of
