THIS MONTH'S
SELECTION
THE
LEACUE
OF
FRIGHTENED
PHILISTINES
By
JAMES T. FARRELL
This is a collection of some of the
best critical essays of Mr. Farrell. The
articles themselves are short and
pointed and are written in the same
fluid style as the author's better known
works of fiction.
The first section of the book is de–
voted to literary criticism. There are
important re-evaluations of James
Joyce, Hemingway, Dreiser, Ring
Lardner, Dostoevsky, Mark Twain,
Chekov and others. The second sec–
tion is devoted to popular culture and
includes essays on "Language of Holly–
wood," "How
Studs Lonigan
Was
Written," "Literature and Ideology"
and "Nonsense and the Short Story."
