HARD CANDY,
A BOOK
OF STORIES
Celine's new novel plunges the hero of
Journey to the End of the Night into the
vice and violence of London's underworld.
Here Ferdinand, a wounded young French
veteran now turned spiv, is trapped in a
gang of pimps and prostitutes. "Celine's
technique of composition once more
validates the observation of Andre Gide:
'Celine's is a singular sensibility; he
depicts not reality but the hallucinations
which reality provokes.' "-New York

Here is the first complete appraisal of
the complex figure whom T. S. Eliot has
called "the most fascinating personality
of our time." Hugh Kenner's lively guide–
book is a critically astute appraisal so
written that it can be enjoyed without
prior acquaintance with Lewis's many
works. Makers of Modern Literature

This handsomely printed volume includes
stories like "Three Players of a Summer
Game" which added to Tennessee
Williams' reputation as a writer in any
genre when they appeared in national
magazines, together with other stories
like "Two on a Party" which were not
considered suitable by magazines, but
which display the same depth of under–
standing, skill. and high artistic integrity.
