...those that were is Author Robert Melvin Coates' Yesterday's Burdens. Too far to the left for many a middle-of-the-roader, this novel is squarely in the centre of the modern experimental path-a path broad enough to accommodate Ulysses and the books of John Dos Passes, but on which such backtracking behemoths as Anthony Adverse never set hoof. Fated to be overlooked or judged "queer" by the general reader, Yesterday's Burdens will excite the attention of those who are more interested in whither the novel is going than in whence it has come...
...struggles to keep his head above the flood; but Author Brunngraber's dogged attempt toall the ground results in a kaleidoscope of fact which sometimes dizzies, sometimes dulls the reader's attention. With more statistics to the squarehead paragraph than are contained in a chapter of John Dos Passos' 42nd Paralled or 1919, Author Brunngraber's complicated sum does not add up to nearly so impressive a human total.

His innovation in method places him in Proust's debt, if in anybody's, since the book is an attempt to remember things past, and to recapture their essence. The author muses on life in a German Lutheran minister's household, situated in a German settlement in New York State. The life that is led there...
...kept a clear head, and brought to the task requisite powers. That man was John Dos Passos, and he, believes Mr. Hicks, has pointed the way to the New Literature. He has seen the kaleidoscope of American life, and has reduced it to terms of the class struggle. He has built the building, and it remains for the coming generation only to refine upon it. The book ends with a note of optimism, and a challenge to youth to carry out the Great Tradition by recognizing the reality of the Revolution. One cannot help feeling that, despite his idea fixe...
