Dear P. D. East,
AS an admirer of your paper,
and q supporter, and believer
in general of humor, wherever it
can be used, I was shocked and
dismayed at your coarse, vulgar
and stupid review of the Stoke
lys' book, Neither Black Nor
White"
do not mean you personally,
of course, but that smart-aleck
book reviewer by the name of
w. w. Stout.
The Stokely book is one of the
best books to come out of the
south recently, and one of the
best - most informative, illu-
minating, and balanced - studies
of the southern scene today. AS
such, it was sure to be condemn
ed by the. conservative southern
press, but l had thought The
Petal Paper was an exception to
this rule; is it?
If your reviewer - who hard
lly deserves this title by my
standards. - disagreed with the
book. at least he should have
made an elementary attempt to
tell.yeur- readers what the book
was about.
Instead he talks about thick,
greasy mixture" He talks about
frozen foods and super-markets;
about the jacket cover OF the
book, the binding cloth of the
book; about the energetic res
piration" of Thomas Wolfe, ect-
etera and ad nauSeam.
This, review is simply a dis
grace to The Petal Paper; and
the only proper amends you
could make to your readershlp
would be to carry another re-
view of what is sure to become
a standard and classic book on
the modern south.
Sincerely,
Maxwell Geismar

In Germany, Korea and
