DIALOGUES

Augusto Centeno
y
Rilova
and Donald Sutherland
Eric Bentley says of
The Blue Clown,
"The modes of thought of
Centeno and/or Sutherland are mostly quite alien to me - the
defic iency cou Id be my own - but they seize and keep the atten–
tion even of such a " bad " reader. They will make me (I real ize)
return to their book, probably quite often . And at my age I don 't
intend to
return
to a great many books any more.
"The jokes alone are worth the price of admission. So are the
bans mots.
It is a phi losoph ical work, not always easy to grasp, but
at the same time it abounds in very good simple things-s imple
but not obvious. The reader can often just revel in the authors'
quickness of mind, litheness of response.
"There is so
much
that is good about it! And it does not resemble
anything else in the whole range of dramatic theory and criticism."
