MRS. WILLIAMS
A Personal Record
of My Mother
by
William Carlos Williams
In his new novel about an American Indian
tribe in the days before the white man, Fred
Manfred tells the story of a young Sioux who
sees his destiny in a vision, and sets out on a
perilous quest to prove his manhood and his
worthiness to lead his tribe. It is a remarkable
fictional achievement, filled with details of
Indian customs, daily life, religion, and iden–
tification with nature, set against a background
of thrilling action and adventure. By the author
of
Lord Grizzly
and
Riders of Judgment.

This first complete book on Eliot will delight
many readers and enrage others. For Mr.
Kenner's new critical approach is to relate
the poet's prose and verse to their creator'.
systematic anonymity, his elaborate program of
camouflaging himself as an orthodox British
man of letters. It covers all of Eliot's work
including "an illuminating study of Eliot's re–
cent plays . . . sharp, succinct, and exception–
ally interesting-an admirable piece of criti–
cism."--<:HARLES ROLO,

Now in his seventies, this distinguished Ameri–
can poet goes back in this delightful book to
one of the strongest influences in his life: his
mother. He has not written
about
her-instead
he has blended his writing with her words to
achieve an effect analagous to his blending of
poetry and prose in
Paterson.
She was an im–
mensely spirited lady with strong opinions on
a wide variety of subjects and in this book
she comes vividly alive.
