THE SHAPES OF SLEEP.

IHE SHAPES OF SLEEP.
BY j. B. Priestley. Double
day & Co.; $3.75J
THE Shapes of Sleep" is
an amiable novel written for
amiable people and worthy
of only amiable reviews. The
reader is slowly and adroitly
meSmerized by an interna-
tional spy tale that conforms
in, every detail to today's
standard and universally ap-
proved pattern.
We have the private eye.
No adolescent, at AZ he is
disillusioned, cynical, fearless,
intelligent to the point that
he can draw conclusions from
virtually no premises, safe in
his perilous profession al
though his reflexes are sod
den with Scotch or gin Gin
this case the latter, and as
determinedly lecherouS as
Billy Whiskers or Peter Rab-
bit. In addition, when the
days work is done he always
relaxes with a chess problem
or an LIP record of classical
music-uSually q string quar-
tet by Haydn or Bartok, but
in this case the Haydn SYM
phony No. SO, in E flat
major, and the Mozart clari-
net quintet in A major. OF
the multitude of differences
between the modern private
eye and Sam Spade, the most
remarkable is the contem-
porary peppers affinity to
chamber music.
Fortunately for him he is
inevitably and eternally af-
forded the opportunity of
dalliance with beautiful girls
who shed their clothes like
first-Stage rockets.
Then there are espionage
agents, some for the capital
list countries, others for the
Communists, still others who
sell their information on any
market, without prejudice.
In the present story there
are also Madison Avenue ad-
vertising agency tycoons, for
the mystery involves shapes"
made of paper which can eff
fectively inculcate ideas and
beliefs in the minds Of the
sleeping-clearly a commod-
ity as valuable to commerce
as to government.
Finally, there is always the
necessary heterogeneous as
sortment of minor characters
the dumb ex-pugilist, the
homosexual night-club pi-
anist, the pair of degenerate
sailors and various bellboys,
taxi drivers and elderly Ger
man scientists.

into the bedroom and Ben
pours himself another shot of
gin while awaiting the dulcet

goes out and Wanda calls to

Perhaps the books greatest
fault is that the characters
have no identity. We do not
recognize them from episode
to episode, not because we
see them from different
angles or because they
develop and change, but
simply because they do not
remain the same people. The
names persist, but they are
only labels.
Then, the relationships be-
tween Gabe and Libby, and
between Gabe and Martha,
though by implication the
rdiSon d'etre of the book, are
nebulouS and unconvincing.
The author merely combines
two stories to make one big

himself to come to grips with
the situations he has created.

This reviewers quarrel,

choice of cases as with the
technique of telling. The
author has restricted himself
to an average Of 40 pages a
chapter - q relatively brief
space in which to review
complex issues. Yet into these
pages. Mr.. Kunstler (who, in
his previous book, Beyond
a Reasonable Doubt?" had
room to explain the Chess

forth so many dates, facts
and names - including the
names Of minor witnesses

his stories become quite diff

Nevertheless, the theme Of
the book, and therefore the
book itself, are important.

The LONG LIGHT OF
DAWN. By John Farris.
putnam; $4.95D
The jacket of this novel
leads us to expect a glimpse
into the inner halls of the
medical profession where,
perhaps, all things are not as
pure as they seem. The
central character, a young
medical student, strives to
become adult in the shadow
OF an outwardly successful
brother. Lee Arnett also
strives to peel off the facades
of the people surrounding
him to get to know them
better, but mostly to find
comfort and love in the
bosom of a family where love
is a stranger.
When one is led to believe
by words in blue on the
jacket that this is a novel
of broken medical ethics. one
is geared to an expose of
medical ethics gone wrong;
but what one gets is a
chronicle of loveless family
relationships. Too many peo-
pie are paraded before us in
various stages of psychology
ical undress for any one of
them to be really interesting.
And when the undoing per-
Sonal trauma does explode in
the life of Lees highly sue
ceSSful brother, there have
already been so many highly
unpleasant explosions, that
the major explosion doesn't
go off with a bang.
When one is all set for
professional malpractice and
responsibility among doc
tors, and discovers just
another young man whose
family doesn't understand
him, there's bound to be
disappointment.

Publishers in Is countries
seek to encourage a world
wide audience for new and
worthy fiction.
They have established the
Formentor Prize manned after
Cape Formentor on the isle
of Mallorca) with an annual
award of $4,000.
The winner of the first
award has been translated
from its original Spanish
into 10 European languages
and now is appearing stimuli
taneously in Is countries.
These are promising devel-
opments. But in the face of
them. Mr.. Hortelano's win
ming work, Summer Storm"
must stand up merely as an
opportunity lost.
Was the publishers literary
board so devoid of artistic
consideration as to be literary
in name only? Or does the
American publishers liken-
ing of this novels story to
the Montesi case in Italy
mean that the work was
chosen to cash in on that
notoriety?
With a careful style and a
few effective touches of
irony, Senior Hortelano pic
lures a wasted summer spent
by Europe'S rich idlers. But
the decadence he speaks of
cannot truly be revealed ex-
cept in relation to the values
it rejects. This is what dis
tinguishes Evelyn Waugh's
finest work about Europe.
which he understands, from
his lesser novels about Amer
lea, which he does not I'M
derstand.
All Hortelano gives us is a
snapshot. He reveals what
each person is doing at the
moment, but never tells us
why they do it, nor pits them
against the others who were
too slow or too wise to
squeeze into the picture.

Human Appeal
One constant picture APP
pears throughout these varied
discussions, that of the au-
thor as a human being and a
passionate crusader for what
he believes to be right. The
International Commission Of
Jurists, a distinguished body
of leading lawyers of the
Free World, has stated that
there can be no rule Of law"
in any country, unless there
is a truly independent bar.
This means that lawyers
must be free to challenge
government or police action
when they believe that the
constitutional rights of citi-
ems have been violated. This
true rule of law" can be
meaningful only If lawyers
