This fabulous career has
yet another. perhaps most
significant. dimension. In the
past Is years M. Malraux has
conceived and executed a
monumental monologue on
art. 1t is a prodigious CON-
mentary upon his dynamic
view of life as fiux and its.
constituents as perpetually
metamorphic. In this view
the artist is engaged in con-
fronting the human condi-
ton" with visions. At times
they tranScend-at others,
they defy-"man's fate" M.
Malraux's stated purpose is
to survey those images
which human creativity has

a key to the timeless CONVEX

concerning the modern MI

been the most compelling in
art criticism. For it's ency-
clopedic scope, brilliance Of.
analysis and stylistic virtu-
osity, this exciting soliloquy
has been acclaimed as one of
the great books of our time.
Like its immediate prede-
cessor, Saturn: An Essay
on Goya," the present volume
is another installment of M.
Malraux's beguiling dis.
course. The assumptions on
which it rests were persua-
sively argued in THE Voices
of Silence" In a sense, the
author is backing and filling,
as he enlarges upon the i'm
plications of the earlier
"Metamorphoses of Apollo"
Here the recurrent theme
was that "all art is a Sc
quence Of metamorphoses, di-
rectly linked to mans vary
ing reactions to his portion of
eternity"
The dominant idea of
THE Metamorphosis of the
Gods" is that from time i'm

Its motivation is educational,
and its impact is not to be
discerned on grounds of illu-

hieratic. The art product is
validated by its apprehen-

M. Malraux, who first
reached Indochina as an

equipped to explore these

India. China and Byzantium.
Although he is no scholar, by
close examination and ample
illustration he shows the met

A Bit of Interim Work
By John O'Horo

Mr.. O'Hara says he is re-
cording the history of the
Twenties, Thirties and Forties
with complete honesty and
variety, not wishing to. leave
the story in the hands of
historians and the editors of
picture books" However, in
the interminable anonymous
conversations that make up
most of Sermons and Soda
Water" there is little variety
and no evocation of the
earlier decades beyond the
superficial association of
speakeasies. bootleggers, and
Duesenbergs.
Mr.. O'Hara's stories are as
commonplace as soap-operas,
but less exciting. The charac-
tiers are involved in those
stilted dialogues, met with
only in print, that are con-
trived by authors unwilling
to make the effort to relate
their stories themselves. The
tales are drenched in Scotch
whisky and punctuated regu-
larry by fornication. They are
dull.
Two years research and
another two for writing may
be a good schedule for MIR.
O'Hara's forthcoming big"
novel. At least if it doesn't
help it can't hurt.

by John OHara. (Random
House; $3.50
In his foreword to Ser

collection of three novelties,
John O'Hara remarks that
the question is bound to come
up why each story was not
made into a 350-page- or-more
novel. He gives several an
Swers. He wanted to write
them short; he didn't like
trucking to the public's pre-
objection of assaying books by
their avoirdupois. CHe is not
averse to selling his books in
quantity lots-the three little
novels are printed in three
hard-cover books. sold as a
unit Finally, being at work
on a big novel that will take
two years research and two
years writing, he has written
these novellaS from memory,
with a minimum of research,
which is one reason why the
novella is the right form"
Research, it seems, adds bulk.
1t is doubtful that anyone
would have wondered why
these monotonous stories were
not longer, any more than
why SO many ellis of yard
goods are cut from a bolt.

Stephen Coulter. Double
day & Co., Inc; $4.95D
The tortured life of Fyodor
Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
sometimes seems too incred-
ible for fiction. But in this
biographical novel, Stephen
Coulter has followed the
main threads of the Russian
authors career, and leaves
the reader wondering how one
man could have endured so
much degradation and still
attain immortality.
Many of the unhappy
events in Dostoevsky's life
were caused by circumstances
over which he had little or
no control; the murder of his
father; his arrest and SEN
tence to Siberia with its sub
sequent horrors: his epilepsy;
the death of his brother who

READING AND WRITING
New Cinderella
Of Book World
BY MARY McGRORY
Star stan Writer

This years Cinderella of
the book world, Harper Lee,
author Of ITO Kill a Mock
ing Bird" Lippincott; 1885,
was in town recently. Some
may see in her story more of
a parallel to Jane Eyre,
Charlotte Bronte's heroine
who wanted so desperately
to write while governessing
that she used to grip the
hangings Of the schoolroom
in Illustration.
Miss Lee, known as Nell"
in her native Monroeville,
Ala. was working on the
reservations desk of BOAC
while all she wished to say
in her phenomenally success
full first novel was boiling up
inside her. Finally a patron
came to her aid, gave her
sufficient funds to live in a
SIS cold-water fiat in New
York, where she happily
wrote for three years at her
novel.
A wide-eyed, round-faced,
disarming young woman of
"a, Miss Lee gives the impress
sion Of being slightly bewil-
dered but not at all displeased
by what has happened to her
since her beguiling study of a
southern childhood first APP
peared. She has not entirely
taken in the fact that she is
we'll on her way to interna-
tional literary celebrity. Her
enthusiastically southern
story has sold 10000 copies
in the British Isles. It has
won acceptance in Holland,
Scandinavia, France and
Italy as we'll.
Now she is working at her
second book, which will also
be set in the south, and pre-
sumably will have the same

Tennessee Williams flavor of

She will, after a brief stop
in New York. return to Mon
roeville. where her father,
who sounds very like the wise
father of her novel, still lives.
Miss Lee speaks with diff
Guilty and diffidence about
herself. She would prefer
not to. 1t was stipulated in
her contract with Lippincott,
her publishers, that she
would never, under any cir
cumstances. have to appear
on television or radio or make
a talk at a literary luncheon.
Her book speaks better for
her, she believes, in defiance

lily: and the fatal illness of
his first wife.
But there were basic weak
nesses in his character which
repeatedly drove Dostoevsky
to despair; his inability to
come to terms with life after
his initial success as a young
writer; his habitual borrow
ing and financial irresponsi-
bllity; his adulterous loose
affairs and obsession with
gambling. Much of his life
was spent fleeing from cred
itors, thus preventing his
talent from achieving full
flower until his later years.
The hardships he endured
in prison and in the Russian
Army endowed Dostoevsky
with great insight and under
standing. But locked in his
heart there must have been
vast inner strength that forth
fled him in times of stress.

A liveIier View
Of Shakespeare

Too often perhaps Shake
speare is in the hands of the
scholars. In SHAKESPEARE'S
PROGRESS World: $3.50,
Frank O'Connor, the fine Irish
short-story writer, takes over.
His study, which is scholarly,
too, is a lively. irreverent and
wholly compassionate view of
his fellow craftsman.
Mr.. O'Connor takes the
position that it is hopeless to
expect to be moved by Shake
Speare's dramas four CEN
turtles away from the atmos-
phere that produced them.
1T was an atmosphere" he
writes, of excitement and
danger not unlike that of a
newspaper Office under a die
tatorship in which editor and
staff may yet end up, be-
fore a military tribunal"
Failing that, the reader who
wants to enjoy Shakespeare,
must saturate himself to the
point Of Identification with
Shakespeare" For, he writes,
1.-The work of every great
writer is to a certain extent
an allegory of his passage
through life, but this is truer
Of Shakespeare than of most
other writer's"
Mr.. O'Connor sees the Bard
as a poet who struggled
through subjectivity and ego
tism to become a dramatist;
as a provincial young man
who fancied himself as an
English Ovid; who, shattered
rather late in life by an
emotional experience, came
to hate the world and life
itself and finally achieved a
pagan Stoicism.
He also. in a bit of virtu-
osity, traces the path of the
hacks hand through some of
the great works. He expresses
heretical views. "Othello" he
thinks is mot interesting;
he regards Lear" and Ham
let" as among the greatest
dramatic poems in the world,
of an almost supernatural"

ment) of a few years out of
a mans life, encompassing
episodes in prep school, COL
lege, in various parts of the
world as he drove an ambu-
lance in the war and later
served in the Army in the
Pacific and Japan. A number
of these episodes concern the
youths amours, some with
decent" girls. others with
prostitutes of various nation
alities.
What's the Lesson
The final question to be
raised about the novel is not
whether it is we'll written-it
Is, quite-but what the young
mans casual adventures and
his brief loves all add up to.
The love affairs become
dreary and sometimes are
brought in with seeming re-
luctance. as if the author were
saying to himself, well, this
is what you expect; here it
is"
With all due appreciation of
Mr.. Bourjaily's gifts. doubt
that this novel contributes
much to the understanding
of youth or adds much that
is new to the vast literature
on the subject. -C.-B. ].

Swinburne for over a quar-

considered the most monot-

alton he was guaranteed to
put you to sleep. This was
due to the regularity of his
rhymes and meters.
Dame Edith Sitwell, in a

proves that Swinburne is in
fact infinitely variable, ex-

this point of view.

The Personal Side
Of Sigmund Freud

dissertation on morality by
the man whose scientific
writings are supposed to have
set a new standard for mo-
rality for whole generations:
II believe that when it
comes to a sense of justice
and consideration for 9TH
ers, to the dislike of making
others suffer or taking adj
vantage of them, I can
measure myself with the
best people I have known.
I have never done anything
mean or malicious, nor
have I felt any temptation
to do so, with the result
that I am not in the least
proud of it. I am taking
the notion of morality in
its social, not its sexual,
sense. Sexual morality as
defined by society, in its
most extreme form that of
America, strikes me as very

an infinitely freer sexual
life. although I myself have
made very little use of such
freedom"
indispensable Love
Or read this conclusion of
a man whose life had been
spent finding the most COM
pick reasons behind every
impulse:
Il myself have always
advocated the love for
mankind not out of senti-
mentality or idealism, but
for sober, economic rea-
sons: because in the face
of our instinctual drives
and the world as it is I
was compelled to consider
this love as indispensable
for the preservation of the
human species as, say,
technology"
That the surface eccen-
tricities Of mankind were not
ignored by the great explorer
into the depths of its con-
sciousness is amply demon
strated in many a delightful
aside. His daughter, lectur-
ing at Oxford, had written
that her accommodations

than comfort" and her father

with it,"

things in these letters.
