JEAN GARRIGUE
is one of the younger American poets whom good critics have been
watching with anticipation. After long delays (which we think are
justified by the beauty of the hand-printed volume which The Prairie
Press has produced) her
The Ego
&
The Centaur
is now ready for
distribution. ($2.50)
ANDRE GIDE
has been the subject of several notable studies, but we believe that none
of them has been either as thorough or as perceptive as that by Van
Meter Ames which is now being released in The Makers of Modem
Literature Series.
Andre Gide.
($2.00)
GARCIA LORCA
poured into his stage dramas all the power of his burning poetic per–
sonality. At last we are able to offer the authorized translation of his
unpublished masterpiece
Bernarda Alba
in the English version of Richard
O'Connell and James Graham Lujan. With it is their revised version of
Y erma
and their translation of
Blood Wedding.
Thus we have all of
Lorca's
Three Tragedies
in one volume. ($3.75)
HENRY MILLER
continues the examination of the USA which he began in
The Air–
Conditi<med Nightmare
with
Remember to R emember
(
$3.75). The
new book contains studies of Varda, Rattner, Bufano
&
Deeter; a funny
satire on a Hollywood pttrty; a long revery on Miller's life in France
(by way of contrast with what he has found here); his great anti-war
tract "Murder The Murderer"; and essays like "Obscenity
&
The Law
of Reflection."
