Ever since the European
discovery Of the woodcut,
about 500 years ago. some
of the sharpest critics of
society have used the drawn
line instead of the written
word as an instrument of
dissection. Aaron Sopher,
Baltimore artist and illus
traitor, is such a social
craftsman. This new book,
in "a drawings, gives an ex-
cellent sample Of the range
of the artist and the quality
of the eye and mind.
The two dominant figures
in the field today are Robert
Osborn and Saul Steinberg.
Osborn creates savage linear
embodiments of our social
ills. Steinberg follows the
fancy of his line to gentler.

Sopher works in the more
modest tradition of Reginald

for that worthless commodity,

ton Notwithstanding.
Romain Gary creates his
satire incisively and with
humor. His detachment
leaves him as the book pro-
crosses however, and the
parallels with Hitler and
Evita Peron are labored and
superfluous. When he merely
introduces the Devil to a
number of familiar types and
then shows what happens to
his contrivance. his book is a
good story. But the book
turns into an ordinary pot
boiler when he becomes
maudlin over what is good.

THE MAN WHO FEELS

THE MAN WHO FEELS
LEFT BEHIND. By Gerald
w. johnson. civilian Nor
row & Co.; $4)
The giant strides Of SCI
ence and technocracy have
created a problem for the
average American by forcing
him to deal intelligeatly with
forces he does not under
stand. This is one of the per-
plexitieS Of contemporary life
which Gerald w. johnson
discusses in a series Of essays
in THE Man Who Feels Left
Behind"
There are no quick and easy
answers to this and other
dilemmas a responsible citi-
zen must face. His cities are
degenerating into masses OF
Slums. Much of his Nation is
divided over racial equality.
If he is q dissenter he may
be pilloried by a legislative
committee. Attenuation often
presents him with more lei
sure than he is prepared to
use wisely.
Some of these quandaries,
Mr.. johnson suggests, can at
least be whitfield down to
size by the application Of
common sense. The cities, for
instance, could be helped by
educating the groups which
have despoiled them. Not only
mere classroom instruction
is needed, but fair treatment,
patience and perseverance.
Regretfully, he notes that

Basic changes in a democ-

However" Mr.. johnson
writes. "it is not better politi-
clans that we need, but better
use, starting with more dis

type we have now, which
brings the responsibility back

Good short stories are rare

In PURSUIT OF THE
ENGLISH by Doris LeSsing
(Simon & Schuster. $3.75) is
a terse, honest. naturalistic
novel which might also have
been entitled "Scenes From q

Miss Lessing is not a story
teller; she is a painter from

relish and economy the exist

ly taken up with the essen
tials of life-food and shell

Benedetto Croce's conten-
ton that the Comedy" is a
pill Of Theological romance"
sweetened by occasional pas
sages Of true" poetry may
also have been in Eliot's
mind. Prof. Brandeis refutes
this view. demonstrating by
close analysis that the poem
is profoundly unified by a
sophisticated fusion of its
"didactic." lyric, dramatic.
symbolic and structural ele-
mentS.
THE Ladder of Vision" 4"
however, is not a thesis-rid-
den rejoinder to Croce.
From these several view
points Prof. Brandeis has ex-
posed the complex unity of
the Dantean vision. Through
her guidance this acknowl-
edged, but inaccessible, mas
terpiece yields its synthesis
Of spiritual edification and

O'Malley'S Army Without
Banners" was another pierc-
ing account of the times.
You might have thought
that like our Civil War, which
has occasioned more copious,
but less lyric reports. the
Irish War had been isuffi-
GENTLY chronicled. But now
comes PROTEST IN ARMS
by Edgar Holt Coward
McCann; So which proves
that the entire matter is Of
sufficient intrinsic interest
to be written about objective
ly and by an Englishman at
that.
Mr.. Holt's book has Q
marvelouSly stern introduce
tion by Cathal O'Shannon,
one of the veterans of 1916,
who says, Taking this book
as one piece, and making al
lowance for errors Of detail
that are hardly serious,
enough to mar the quality
of the whole, Mr.. Holt is to
be credited with a consider
able measure of success"
Bitter Memories
Less demanding readers
who do not share Mr.. O'Shan-
mons bitter memories may be
less guarded in their ap-
probation. 1t seems to this
one, at least. that Mr.. Holt
has done a marvellous job Of
picking his way through Q
welter of explosive personali-
ties and murkily defined is
sues.
What he brings out better
than any other historian Of
the period is the initial indif-
ference of the Dubliners to
the bold rising Of Easter
Monday. 1t was only when
the heroes had been executed
that the latent nationalism
was reused.
Says Mr.. Holt: "Pearse's
belief that Ireland needed q
blood sacrifice to arouse her
national spirit was proved
correct; the great architects
Of the Insurrection did more
for Ireland by their deaths
than they had been able to
do by their lives"
An Outsiders View
Thereafter he traces the
months when the other lead
ers, Of whom DeValera was
the leader, were in prison,
and Countess Markievicx
toiled up the stairs Of Ayles-
bury gaol carrying pals and
reciting long passages in
italian from Dante'S Infer
no."
He records the first vio-
lence. the coming Of the
Black and Tans, Irish VIC
tory and the terrible. tragic
division Of the civil war. It
is all temperately done with
full respect for Irish inten-
sity and Irish humor. Pro

war, Gerlach finds that he
has six months to live before
dying of throat cancer. He
asks his younger son, daugh-
ter and daughter-in-law to
swear they will never leave
the great, ugly, impressive
old mansion after he dies. At
this point 1t is disclosed that
the elder son, supposed to
have fled to Argentina to
escape punishment for an
incident during the Allied
occupation, has immured
himself upstairs and has been
seen by nobody other than
his sister for 13 years. He
rejects all attempts by his
father to re-establish contact,
feeling that their guilt and
that Of their country are in
extricably intertwined, and
binding himself to the fact
that Germany is now a new
and recovered country. II
he admitted to himself that
it was not as he last saw it
in 1945, he would die.
Sartre is not talking about
Germany. I believe, but about
man; Germany is a symbol
easily objectified for dra-
matte purposes. As a stage
piece, the work should be
brilliant. One device that
should be particularly effec-
tive is the partial flashback
In which the father talks tc
the elder son as of IS years
ago, while at the same time
conversing with the others in
the present. Whatever the
success of "The Condemned
Of Altoona" on the stage, the
play is an excellent close
drama; it reads very we'll.
