as a
hoot owl.
But perched on the gnarled limb of satire, he blinks down
with
dry
wisdom at a world much crazier than he."

Rhythm
in the Novel
BY
E..
K. BROWN
Delightfully written criticism
of the dominant genre of our
time as analogous to the sym–
phony.
Discusses "Phrase,
Character, Incident," "Ex–
panding Symbols,"
"Inter–
weaving Themes," and "Rhy–
thm in E. M. Forster's A Pas–
sage to India." A stimulating
study which makes the cos–
mopolitan novels discussed
more intelligible and more en–
joyable.
