500 PIP. $685.. With Introduction
by Maxwell Geismar.
Editors Note: While we present
the following as "A Book Review,
it was a feature article in COM
MENTARY in August, 1860, and
was written by Mr.. Leslie E.
Fielder. AS you will note, this is
far more than a book review.)
1t would not be quite true to
say that Henry Roth's Call 1t Sleep
went unnoticed when it appeared
in 1885. One contemporary re-
viewer at least was willing to
call it ga great novel; and to hope
that it might win the Pulitzer
Prize, which," that reviewer add
ed mournfully, cit never will" It
never did, the prize going instead
to H. L. Davis's Honey in the
Horn, which was also the Harper
Prize Novel of the year and was
even touted by Robert Penn War
rem in the Southern Review-then
still being subsidized by Huey
Long. Not only the Southern
Agrarians were looking elsewhere,
when Roth's single book was pub
lished; almost everyone seemed to
have his eye on his own preferred
horizon, on which he was pre-
tending to find his own preferred
rising star.

Dear P. d.:

Dear +. D.:
I read with interest, Mr.. East,
that you propose to Get Religion
and turn over a New Leaf. AS a
self-professed Good Boy, I feel
eminently qualified to express the
opinion, derived from personal ex-
perience, that such state of be-
ing has its limitations.
Like, my early years were spent
in Mississippi, and it was only
right and proper for me to be a
loyal and true Mississippian. Then
I moved to the North, and found
that to be Good and Well Behaved,
I must not object to the color of
skin of the fellow who sat next to
me in school. After some years,
I revisited my Mississippi uncles
and aunts, naively espousing my

A SPEAKER before a service
club, a gentleman Of impressive
title and presumable distinction,
once used this phrase: sour de-
mocracy, our comforts" Democ-
racy. Comforts. He seemed to
think that those two words meant
the same thing; he seemed to be
defining our highest political ideal
in terms of our rich material pos
sessions.
And I think his listeners could
hardly have missed the point when
he continued: 1--WE are the most
comfortable people the world has
ever known"
IN ANOTHER PART of the
country, a feminine radio artist
was solemnly announcing to all
whom it might concern that the
rugged frontier spirit of early
America is not dead. (Now / have
no record of this broadcast, and
never knew it's source; but I heard
it, and you'll simply have to take
my word for this.) In tones that
thrilled with honest admiration
she told how the young wives of
A m er an soldiers, stationed
abroad with their husbands, were
fighting back with gra n d old
American fortitude against the
tribulations of their exile. They
were having a rough time, but
they were sweating it out like
tough little heroines. 1t was
true, she said, they were hav-
ing little trouble in finding do
mestic servants; there were some
how plenty of those; but they were
b e ing forced to struggle along
(and they were struggling, with
all the heroism of true American
womanhood, against cruel short
ages of closet space; and because
of quite inadequate refrigerators
they were being forced to go shop
ping for groceries, not once a
week as in good old deep-freeze
America, but every blessed mar
ket day of the world!
1T SEEMS THIS YEAR that our
package of Thanksgiving prayers
should be addressed, if not to
Santa Claus, to some Heavenly
Executive in Charge of the Cos
mic Distribution of Consumer
Goods. This department is really
doing a job, at least in our terri
tory. Service is prompt and album
dant, and the United States, in
particular, is being supplied by
Celestial Special Delivery.
Now these things somehow sug-
gest the spirit in which we COM
monty celebrate Thanksgiving, and
shall say what little I can in
correction of that spirit. I wish
we might discard false practices

. No more initiating our collective
