More than any other group,
readers of the Partisan Review
have reason to welcome this
distinguished and exciting first novel
The
·MIDDLE
of the
JOURN.EY
by
LIONEL TRILLING
When Lionel Trilling's
Of This Time, of That
Place
first appeared in the
PARTISAN REVIEW,
connoisseurs of short-story writing hailed it as a
masterpiece. His rare ability to dramatize the
intellectual and emotional problems of our day
appear now in his first novel. It is the story of a
mbdern man at a time when he is challenged by
his world and when his heart is beset by pro–
found emotions. "It shows all the sensitivity that
those who are familiar with his short stories and
critical pieces would have expected. His book
has a subtle wit and irony rare in American
writing today."
