While these defects may as well be due to unwise dismemberment of a coherent novel, selecting being the tricky business that it is, there are other defects for which no such excuse can be offered. The language is seldom precise and sometimes implausible. Chace writes, for example, "Justin returned to his shaving and tried to change his thoughts by applying alcohol and powder to his skin." Whether or not Justin is a solipsist, the relationship between his facial activity and his mental processes is extremely tenuous. The point is that the eye for detail is not the selective eye achieving...
...rest of the issue ranges from not so good to considerably worse. The opening selections from James Chace's novel have more than one grave deficiency. The primary problem is that, as in so many Advocate stories, the reader, when finished, is hard put to attach any significance to his recent adventure. Emotionally, he does not give a damn, and intellectually he is either somnolent or at loose ends. It is perhaps not necessary that prose have a point, but it seems reasonable to demand that it achieve an effect, as Ratte does in the "Lawrison" piece. It also seems...
Conceived by Dance Therapist Marian Chace, Cry of Humanity was quickly taken over by the patients.

...James Chace's "Rebecca and the Child" is a short narrative piece, told without dialog. Its static form is made up for by Chace's evocative description and understanding control of the central character. Slightly similar in theme, "Sweet Forever" by Nathaniel LaMar is more successful as a story. LaMar mixes dialogue with description to give a forceful picture of the barren life of a Southern girl and her fitful reaching for love...
