HAP.PY FAMILIES ARE ALL ALIKE
by
PETER TAYLOR
"In this new collection of ten stories, Mr. Taylor's intelligence, taste
and instinctive refinement are, once again, as much in evidence as
technical skill. Several of the stories represent American short story
writing at its best. . . . These recent stories, like all fine works of
art, are beautifully wrought and full of imaginative subtlety. Having
the timeless qualities, the vigor, tenderness and suggestive power of
ballads and folksongs, they insure the author very heavily against
oblivion."-FRANK H. LYELL,
N. Y. Times Book Review.
"His stories
succeed because they are real, moving and convincing."-wILLlAM

THE NATIVE MOMENT
by
ANTHONY C. WEST
"A
Lost Weekend
sired by
Ulysses
out of
Lady Chatterley"
is
what
the Virginia Kirkus Review Service called this remarkable novel by
the author of
River's End and Other Stories.
"The story begins in
the morning and encompasses a wild day and night in Dublin. Its
protagonist, Simon Green, arrives there from the country ... and
the chapters devoted to his boozy and amorous night (which is both
tragic and funny) are typical of others in Irish literature: charming,
amusing, sexual."-HARRISON SMITH,
Saturday Review Syndicate.
"Wildly comic.. . . Could only have been created by a powerful,
uproarious-to wit, Irish-imagination."-JAMES STERN,
N.
