thesis. We have two novels
slated for review this week
and one which was noticed
last week: these At into this
perceptive critics purview.
Inviting Censorship
Mr.. Fuller does not want
censorship in any form. but
he feels that novelists, with
utter lack Of restraint In Lam
guage or concept. are inviting
. 1t TO return. They are, he
thinks, debasing the freedom
given them to pile on dirt in
words. scenes and concepts,
q lazy writer's method Of
replacing thought-out images
with absurdly literal rep
Editions Of sordidness and
vulgarity. He emphasizes,
though, II would be a party
to nothing that would have
suppressed or bowdlerized the
sometimes majestic 'indecen-
cies' encountered in Aris-
tophanes, Plautus, Rabelais,
Shakespeare, Swift or, for
that matter, Joyce"
Those now practicing the
art Of fiction. he feels, ARE
the irst generations on
which there have been large,
influential and admir- e d
groups Of noveiists working,
In many instances quite I'M
consciously. on the tacit or
declared premise that there
is no God :"
A Biological Accident
The result, from this dis
illusionment," is that ter
rible spate Of novels now cur
rent in which man is seen
specifically and insistently as
an ironic biological accident,
inadequate. aimless, mean
tnglesS, isolated, inherently
evil, thwarted, self-corrupt-
ing, morally answerable to
no one. clasped in the wise
Of determiniSms economic or
biological. His uniqueness as
a person is denied or sup
pressed. He inhabits a hostile
universe which is the crea-
ton Of irrational and possibly
malignant forces"
Mr.. Fuller sees as a prime
example Mersault in THE
Stranger" by Albert Camus
"a Nobel Prize winner, a
character essentially sub
human. The same could be
said Of Nelson Algren's Dove
Linkhorn in "A Walk on the
Wild Side" and "a host Of
figures in other recent
American novels"
Mr.. Fuller has some caustic
things to say about the juries
Of the National Book Award,
which have honored Nelson
Algren. James Jones and
other writer's who. he holds
have exalted the vulgar and
the semiliterate.
Man in Modern Fiction"
Is the most important critical
essay Of the year-in fact,
one Of the most significant
in many years.
