...frail little piece, which includes a number of very, very funny scenes. Best is one in which Tone prepares to retire to bed with a girl who he thinks is his wife, but actually is only a friend.

But to come out strongly is to run a great political risk in a country that gives strong indications that it wants to return to the decepive...
...both Forster's development and Eklund's own response. You may wish to disagree with Eklund's contention that an artist's work may be examined for a "particular point of view, without attempting to equate the examination with any literary or artistic judgment," but Eklund consistently presents his argument, concerned more with his subject than with himself...
