...blue bays, played tennis at the Royal Lawn Tennis Club, in El Terreno, swank suburb of medieval Palma. But in 1931 the peseta sank to a new low and a new horde overran Mallorca: U. S. hard-drinkers who wanted to live like characters in a novel by Ernest Hemingway. They set up their own bars in Mallorca's famed caves. They started a fad of imitating a peacock's screech, slept all day, screeched like peacocks all night. Tourist prices began to skid upward. Travel publicity brought new thousands of law-abiding U. S. tourists, many...
FRESCOES FOR MR. ROCKEFELLER'S CITY - Archibald MacLeish - John Day ($.25). U. S. Poet-of-the-year is Archibald Mac Leish. whose Conquistador (TIME. April 11, 1932) won him this year's Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

From amidst a faint susurrus of hospital noises, broken English, and the squawling of a patient's radio, ideas emerge with a morbid and startling clarity; much as one may question Mr. Hemingway's philosophy, he cannot help admiring the technical ability and power which enables him to present it so vigorously and subtly. In the present instance, however, the effect is somewhat destroyed by a presentation of that philosophy slightly more explicit than usual. Towards the end of the tale, where the author...
...writers have obviously become part of their own period as they do not reflect the extraordinarily changed conditions in modern life. It is difficult to find in the younger English writers the sort of intense seriousness and vitality that is in the younger American authors. Writers like Dos Passes, Hemingway, Faulkner, are for the first time being accepted seriously in Europe as well as in America. It was Sinclair Lewis," winning the Nobel prize that gave Europe its first appreciation of the fact that Americans had something to say. Men like William March, Halper, Thomas Wolf, Claire Spencer, the author...
