THE MAN
WITHOUT QUALITIES
"A poetic undertaking of in–
dubitable excellence and deci–
sive importance . . . poised
enticingly between essay and
epic comedy ... Musil's wit,
his shrewdness and intellect–
uality are chaste and child–
like. They are of a poetic
order. They are the weapons
of purity, genuineness, and
the natural against the for–
eign, the impure, the false-–
against everything that in
dreamy disdain he calls 'qual–
ities.' In the deepest sense,
The Man Without Qualities
is
a contemporary book."

the foremost drama critics, Eric
Bentley has again written a highly
controversial book-his first on
the American theatre; surely one
of the most searching, as well as
one of the liveliest, ever written
about the American stage. $3.50
