MADAME
SOLARIO
author anonymous
Her first collection of new poems since 1944! In
this work she deals with animals, plants, and the
human dilemma. Whatever her subject-the
por–
cupine, the ermine, a famous racehorse, style in
dancing (and in the other arts)-alI are seen
freshly and described with her exact sense of
language.
$250
"A crowded, elaborately constructed, spirited Dovd
of the days before the American Revolution••••
Ranks far above the formula-ridden and sensa–
tional historical novels that have mis-interpreted
American history in recent years.
It
d~erves
serious consideration as a work of art."
-CARL C.\RMF.R,
Saturday Review, $3.95

rich and colorful novel of newly immigrated

is
something very
new and unusual about this book. . . . What
impresses me most is the largeness of

outlines,
the power of
its
strokes, and the absence of false
feeling."-sAUL BELLOW

" His
mo~t
ambitious novel to date ... repre·
sents a distinct advance in the career of a writer
with unusual resources of wit and intelligence-a
writer, moreover, who
is
virtually incapable of
pJ"oducing a dull page."
-£HARLES ROLO,
The Atlantic $4.50
"The author of this extraordinary novel has
chosen to remain anonymous . . . (but) the mind
invents fantastic impossibilities:
Henry James
crossed with
L
Compton-Burnett rendered by
E.
M. Forster exploded hy Dostoevski? Whatever
the source, the controlling hand is strong, highly
skilled and very sure."- N.
