THE COOLEST FUEL FOR SUMMER DRIVING JUDGING THE BOOKS if: OURNEY to the End of the Night” oJ by Louis-Ferdinande Céline. If you dike your beer dark, your toast burned “and your kisses bitter you'll devour this post gloomy French best seller: this “nightmare autobiographical life adven- ;ure of the doctor author, hurt pretty Geeply but also wisened by the War. But ‘u's all honest gloom and a mile wide even if it does come off to the touch, Brrr. By the way, why is it that in any f grey, tragic moment be it even plumb- ‘ing the abyss of life, a French writer Eean always take time off to smack his lips over ze woman, ze passion & ze + joys of making ze love oo-la-la? i iy HE Unpossessed” by Tess Sles- inger. Despite the publishers straining in every ad to turn her into an Aldous Huxley wearing the pants of George Sand; despite the New York book critics splitting an intestinal forti- tude over this her first published work ; despite her generally phoney style, which has a lot of talking to herself in the second person plural—this gal has writ ten a book of fairly recognizable carica- ture cartoons of the New York intel- lectuals—that unhappy tribe which can | hardly expect to live up to a pretty young miss’ expectation of life and character. “QEVEN Gothic Tales” by Isak Dinesen. cio, making for excellent literary hors Poeuvres, DER Is the Night” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The younger gineration grows up and discovers split personalities, claustrophobias and that it is no longer free and unafreud. The story traces the mental disintegration of a modern marriage, has most of its action among the blooming neuroses of a European pre-booby hatch and is a disappointment for Fitzgerald fanciers. There is, however, Mr. F.’s usual mellif- luous prose, very shapely and neat, and his usual nest of slightly tipsy playboys and gals. “TXINNLEY Wren: His Notions & | Opinions Together with a Hap- hazard History of His Career and Amours in These Moody Years,” by Philip Wylie. In other words, the Assorted Junk of Philip Wylie who can be a darned good imitator of the scien- tific Wells if he doesn’t take himself so seriously. Maybe now that he has Finn- ley Wren out of his system Phil will g0 to work, “PTARHE Gorgeous Hussy” by Samuel Hopkins Adams. History spiced with fiction; or the story of Peggy O'Neale by this two-faced author who is also Warner Fabian.
