Among major modern U.S. writers, Hemingway showed more internal discipline than Faulkner, who has ruined half his books with careless rhetorical obscurity, and more personal integrity than Fitzgerald, who potboiled and drank away the greatest natural gifts of the three as a novelist. Unlike Faulkner and Fitzgerald, Hemingway rarely dealt with the American scene after his early Nick Adams stories of hunting and fishing in the West. Internationally, Hemingway belonged with Eliot, Yeats and Joyce as one of the prime shapers of modern literature, but temperamentally he was more akin to that roving intellectual foreign legion of Malraux, Camus...

In point of fact, this is a very dud avocado, indeed. Co-featured is a travesty of William Faulkner, plagiaristically entitled SANCTUARY. Don't expect to recognize the characters if you read the book. Lee Remick whimpers as Temple Drake, and Yves Montand is hopelessly miscast as her down and way-out croole lover. Daily from...
