...Marin is a flowing-haired nature-lover who has no interest in transcribing nature, and a modern artist who finds himself "completely unsympathetic with cubism or other forms of abstraction, or with surrealism. I belong to no ism. I haven't the time. Shakespeare belonged to no ism." When a reporter cornered the old, thin man at the opening of his Boston show to ask who were his favorite painters, wry, shy John Marin had his answer ready: "Myself...

The Seventh of October takes its title from the last day in Romains' logbook, in Paris in 1933. Citizens yawn, rise, go to work. A girl visits her lover. An Englishman blushingly discusses sex. A priest talks about politics. Poincaré is ill, the U.S. debt is unpaid, Hitler is kicking up a row in Germany, and 25 years ago is 2,500,000 words away...
