Having presumably escaped the pitfalls of bureaucracy, Pound proceeds to include selections from such poets as William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, Ernest Hemingway, e. e. cummings, Marianne Moore, Basil Bunting, T. S. Eliot and himself. These selections show the effect of a thoroughly deracinated culture upon some poets, for tradition must have stronger ties than recondite allusions to forgotten epics and obscure quotations from moth-eaten manuscripts in Continental archives. L. Z.'s notes provide some elucidation of the passages from the "XXX Cantos," but there is still not enough clarity for the plain reader. "The Red Front," by Louis...
WEDDING SONG-David Burnham-Vi-king ($2.50). If Ernest Hemingway should read this book he would be less flattered than embarrassed. Apparently with no intent of parodying his master's manner, Author Burnham has succeeded all too well. Though doubtless meant to hoist the standard higher, Wedding Song blows the gaff on the whole Spartan-boy-&-fox school of understatement. Kit has never forgiven his father, U. S. Tycoon Abbott, for his mother's death, for not accepting his own War bride until it was too late. His whole life is vowed to revenge. From Venice, where...
...magazines as Broom, transition, Gargoyle, wrote a Dada novel, The Eater of Darkness. Friend of Gertrude Stein's (who described him as "the one young man who has an individual rhythm, his words made a sound to the eyes, most people's do not") he introduced Ernest Hemingway to her. Back in the U. S., he wrote for the New Yorker, until last year was its book reviewer. Meantime he had married Sculptress Elsa Kirpal, written a best-seller (The Outlaw Years), and begun to build with his own hands his own house near Brewster. N. Y. Tall...
...Hewn (Appleton-Century, $2.50), and we suggest that you follow its tragic, humorous, and exciting events carefully. As Rough Hewn is the autobiography of one in our midst. Winner Take Nothing is a series of sketchy biographies, all rolled up into one gloriously gory volume by that master, Ernest Hemingway (Scribners, $2.00). A collection of sharp, straightforward stories, it holds a sinister fascination that tells us to urge you to go right down to the corner bookstore and grab up this new collection of short stories...
There is no attempt, stylistically, to re-echo the taut and simple brutalities of Hemingway; nor is there nay imitation of Dos Passos' inchoate complexity. Mr. Hoffman is not be obvious disciple of anybody who is being toasted by the aesthetes, 1933 model. 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...
