description, but I know Of
nothing in English at all like
this book, either in concept
or in style. / forbear to quote,
for I think short excerpts in
a style so new would only
puzzle-Genet must be as
simulated.
The homoSexual Genet
does not advocate homosex-
uality and crime to his read
er, he does not even care
about showing them to him,
as the homosexual Proust
wants to describe the per-
version. He wants to involve
the reader personally in the
way the audience may, in
the theater, find itself be-
come not object but subject.
Sartre, commenting that he
has neither police record nor
inclination for boys, wonders
why he finds himself so in
extricably involved with
Genet: II admit that Genet
treats his readers as means.
He uses them all to talk to
himself about himself, and
this popularity may ALLEVIATE
readers. When he asks him
self: Should ! steal?' why
should he expect the answer
to interest us? What I write
says Genet, is valid only for
me- To which the public
replies: What I take the
trouble to read should be
valid for everyone. Let him
preach theft! One could at
least discuss the matter.
could take q stand for or
against his views But he
does not say that one should
steal. Quite the contrary.
he knows that it is wrong of
him to steal and it Is in order
to be wrong that he steals.
But he doesn't even ask us
to be wrong; he asks us
nothing at ALL"
And as Genet says that he
"distrusts the saintliness of
Vincent de Paul. He should
have agreed to commit the
galley-slave's crime instead
OF merely taking his place
in the irons" so Sartre
CLOSES him by adding: Man
IS a homosexual, a thief and
a traitor Gas well as hetero-
sexual, honest, and faithfully.
If you deny this, then you
renounce your finest laurels:
you were pleased to exceed
the speed Of sound with the
aviator, with him you pushed
back the limits Of human
possibilities, and when he
appears. it is you whom you
acclaim. I see no harm in
this: every human adven-
ture, however individual It
may appear, involves all
mankind; that is what
Catholics call reversibility of
But then accent the
reversibility Of crime; be
willing to moan with all girl
queens when they make love,
be willing to break into ali
with all bur-
glars. :"
Whatever the point Of

The story is Of the final
emergence Of q Democratic

A Long Fight
All of this was not accom-

was again and again turned
back at the polls as he sought

Al Smith Of New York and
then of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

OTHER WHITES, OTHER

OTHER WINTERS, OTHER
SPRINGS. A Novel by
Flora Sandstrom. world
Publishing Co.; $4.95.O
Here is this gypsy riding
out Of the forest, and he sets
the whole tone Of this book.
If you've never been In
Finland, you can't realize
the vast expanse Of forest,
the wild flowers, and the
people-the people who stood
up against the might Of So
Wet Russia in the Winter
War.
So, that Is what this novel
is about in a way. It's about
the stolid Firms, who can
face anything, coming out
Of the forests where they
have lived all Of their lives,
lived against the silence,
lived against the SHOWS, the
forever and enduring quiet
Of the Finnish landscape.
A Man Of Strength
Erik Vainen Is a strong
man, a man who has escaped
from the Karelian Peninsula
after the Winter War, a man
who has suffered through
the loss Of his wife in child
birth and the loss of a son
in the blue waters of a lake.
He Is a man with religious
belief and so he goes into
a church and finds Anniki
fleeing from q night Of hor-
ror with the gypsy, who, of
course, wears golden ear
rings.
The gypsy, on his magnifi-
cent horse, becomes the
symbol Of all romanticism,
all terror in Erik's and An
niki's life. The magnificent
animal like the Arabian
horse in Lawrence Of Ara
bia~ awaits all develop
ments In the story and be-
comes the final terrifying
catalyst.
In the Background
Miss Sandstrom, who Is
English. obviously has Scan
dinavian blood In her veins.
for no one could write of
the Firms as she has, with
out having lived close to
them.
There's a strange, brood
ing quality all through the
book, and early in its read
ing you realize that the
gypsy - symbol of warm
blooded romanticism - will
surely prevail. And so he
does. 1t is not the cold
blooded north that finally
wins out, but the Slav. with

Of unidentified parents, sent
to the reformatory at 10 for

European countries for theft,
he was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in France after
10 convictions of theft in
that country. The French
government, petitioned by
many of its leading writer's,
among them Camus, Sartre,
Celine and Cocteau, par
doned him and set him
loose, President Auriol decid-
ing that since Genet was a

Our Lady Of Flowers"
Genet's first novel, written
in 1912 while he was an in
mate of Fresnes Prison, and
Sartre's long and detailed
account Of the writer's art
and philosophy Zone of Sar-
tres major works, written
in 1852 for inclusion in the
collected edition of Genet's
books) now appear in Eng
liSh for the first time in a
translation by Bernard
Frechtman which, as far as
one who has not read the
original can judge, is mas
terly in its achievement Of
transmitting to a new Ian
guage two quite different
literary styles.
y =
Writing not so much to
communicate ideas to others
as to present others with a
palpable example, Genet COM
poses his novel as a maSo-
chistic and therapeutic act,
writing to himself in a
trance like dream state.
That man alone his fate
fulfills," says the Nick Shad-
ow of w. H. Auden and
Chester Kallman-
"Thdt man, that man alone,
that man alone his fate
JultillS,
For he alone, for he alone
Is free,
Who chooses tDhdt to tDiH,
and t0ills his choice as
destiny"
Genet fulfilled his fate,
and became for himself, for
Sartre, and for others, a sort
of latter-day saint.
He tells himself-particu-
larly himself as child-tales
Of a group of sodomites from
Pigalle, one Of whom, a six
teen year old called "Our
Lady of the Flowers" (all
have fanciful nicknames-
Divine, Darling, Mimosa II,
Archangel Gabriel, is exc
cuted for the gratuitous muir
der of an old man. The char
acters are referred to by
masculine or feminine pro-
nouns as the situation war
Genet remarking: II
shall speak to you about
Divine, mixing masculine and
feminine as my mood die
tates, and if. in the course
Of the tale, I shall have to
refer to a woman, I shall
manage, I shall find an ex-
pedient, a good device, to
avoid any confusion" Women
appear on his scene very
rarely, and always to his OBJ
Vious disgust.
1t may not seem very trac-
table material for a great
novel, but it is a truly great
novel, for whatever its social
or philosophic value, it is
written so beautifully, it sings
so divine a melody, that one
thinks Of the prose poems
Of Baudelaire and "Rhumbs"
Of Valery. Comparison is the
most telling sort of literary

First reports had indicated
the car burst into flames after
running off the road and
crashing into an embankment.
But Trooper William Holley
said he and two other investi-
gators now are convinced q
blast inside the car touched
off the fire as the car headed
west on the road. causing it to
veer to the left Of the roadway
against a l0-foot embankment.
They discovered an empty
and partially-shattered gallon
gasoline can on the rear floor
of the 1850 Ford and theorized
that fumes from it may have
been ignited when the driver
struck a match to light a
cigarette as he drove with the
windows ups
Trooper Holley said the blast
and fire that followed demol-
ished the car and burned the
driver beyond recognition.
