LOST MORNING-Du Bose Heyward- Farrar & Rinehart ($2.50). Skillfully-constructed, smoothly-written novel about an artist whose success turns sour under the pressure of difficulties with his wife, his daughter, the small fashionable Southern city where he lives...
What happens in the woods and rivers during the journey, in the fort during the siege, and in the Huron camp after the fort has fallen, is a complicated triangular contest for life & death between three groups, representing three irreconcilable loyalties.

They still quarrel and kill over their crap games, still shout their religion, their love and fear of ''Lawd Jesus." Porgy, the crippled beggar, appears driving his seedy goat. The simple love story is his. Bess belongs to the murderer Crown. According to the neighbors she is "a liquor-guzzlin' slut," a "Happy Dust" addict. Porgy gives her shelter, buys her a divorce although she never has been...
