New books from THE VIKING PRESS
Henderson
the Rain King
By SAUL BELLOW
"As exciting a novel as has
appeared in a long time. Bellow
has created many bizarre char–
acters, but Henderson is the
most extravagant figure of them
all .... It is a book that should
be read again and again, and
each reading, I believe, will
yield further evidence of Bellow's
wisdom and power."-GRANVILLE

Mrs. Bridge
By EVAN S. CONNELL, JR.
"A fine and revealing American
novel, the best I have read in a
long time. . . . The character of
Mrs. Bridge seems to me as vivid
and memorable as Fran Dods–
worth or Carol Kennicott. . . .
Connell molds a sympathetic,
extraordinarily human being out
of a t ype he might easily laugh
at as a caricature of her station."
