Jacques Barzun discusses
with the pungent indepen-
dence and originality typical
of his books what has come
to be called the anti-intellec-
tual.
He does not waste much
time on the obvious currents
pulling against the progress
of the intellect. which he dis
tinguishes clearly from mere
intelligence. He does not
bother to take apart mass
entertainment, advertising
and mass reading, except in
passing. His villains are less
obvious-the arts themselves,
even philanthropy.
The Unlettered
"The ignorance of the I'M
lettered," he says, takes no
scrutiny to establish. What
we need to plumb is the ig-
norance of the educated and
the anti-intellectualism of
the intellectual"
Later he adds: The artist
turning toward ideas has
been met halfway BY q public
turning aside from words and
greedy for speechleSs art.

Gated amateur are the arts

Emily does find a place to

save her from boredom,
Emily falls in love, deeply,
with an unhappily married
architect. But he is an hon.
orable man and finally leaves
Emily, sad but still searching
for her own way Of life-to
live and feel intensely.
1t would seem that Miss
Chang sees American woman

chores of the household, call

American men get little
praise: Emily's husband typi-

Emily'S boss becomes the cruel
neurotic; an Office worker is
afraid to make mistakes. The
best of the lot is the. archi-
tect who has human weak

There is great depth and
natural literary talent in
Miss Chang'S very personal
thoughts. AS the 30-year-old
divorce is never gay, so the
reader will be little cheered.

Marjorie Holmes (Westmin-

of Windy Lake. Carly Will

the outside, looking longing
ly at the popular crowd, until
Danny Keller notices her and
sweeps her into a summer of
exciting dates, at the boat
house, on the lake, at the
Copper Kettle where the
high school crowd hangs out.
Most high school crowds
have a Danny Keller, a boy
who gives all the girls a
thrill but never gives his
heart. Still they cannot re-
sist when he says: Hi,
Carly" (or it may be Moreno
or Ginny or Dot), "how about
a date?"
That's the way it was with
Carly when Danny Keller
gave her a rush. The situa-
ton is old as the hills but
there's a strong beat Of
realism in the novelist's de-
vice for solving it. Those who
are going through the storm

may well agree with the To-
year-old girl who said she
liked Saturday Night because
it was different"

suggests, without offering a

The books central argu-

the author to take the posi-

& Co.; $3.75). Miss Sarton's
book ends with her twenty
fourth year. at the point
where she has decided to be
a writer, having spent six
years of trying to make an &C
tress of herself. 1t is not par
ticularly interesting as a doc
ument of self-revelation-it
is far too consciously artistic
for that. But it opens with
two chapters, one about her
fathers childhood in Belgium
and another about her moth
er's in Wales, that are un-
believably good. To the Wv
idness of her parents remi-
niscences, Miss Sarton has
brought a poets creative in
sight, and the two studies,
one of opulence and eccen-
tricity in Client and the
other of misery and madness
in Wales, give the reader a
feeling of participation. The
rest of the book about her
Cambridge schooldayS and
repertory theater experiences
is not quite up to this stand
ard. But sketchy as 1t is. it
has a literary quality and a
reserve that make 1t unique

THIS FIERY NIGHT, by
Joan Vatsek (Harper and

Misunderstanding and deep
hatred are often roots for
revolution.
Miss Vatsek has written a
fast moving novel about
Egypt just before the Suez
crisis. People from all ma
tons are hustled about when
nationaliStic feelings blow
across the Nile. Mob vio-
lence. political murders, love
stories and many deaths cook
in a seething stew through
out the book.
Charlotte Zaki is asked to
pick a foreigner of impor-
lance to be assasinated.
Having an argument with an
English official, she selects
him as the one to die. This
is one of many intrigues lead
ing to violence and disaster.
One Of the main protago-
nists of the book, Selim, seeks
political power for his own
self Importance. His final
downfall is complete.
Peter, an English officer.
stages a dramatic battle
against the Egyptian police.
Many others appear to con-
vey the different levels of

The novel is a picture Of
the revolutionary actions be-
fore the British were ousted.
There is a strong tendency
by the authoreSS not to IND
much fault with the British.
The Williams are usually the
Egyptians and most of the
blame is conferred in them.

not lack for action. Murders
