As publishers, we believe
in
encouraging new and
provocative writers of fiction. We don't
go
along with
those nay-sayers who believe that the novel as a
form is finished and proceed to write long, complex
essays about its interment. On the whole, we find
the novel form as healthy and vigorous as ever. As evi–
dence, we point to the following examples from
our list, some recently published, some soon to appear.
All these books-whether by new voices from the
Continent or fresh American talent-have in common
a distinctive style and genuine literary sensitivity.

pity, a sense of gaiety, and a knowl–
edge of
writing."-The New Yorker.
