...Kazin, alas, has grown "tired of love and love and love." In truth it seems Mr. Kazin has simply grown tired. When an established critic tires he falls to attacking live authors (Williams) and quoting dead authors (Mann). Mr. Kazin wants dramatists to reflect "the enlarged voice of our human possibilities."

Mencken-but is a little spottier on contemporaries, e.g., Jean-Paul Sartre, Elizabeth Bowen. John Hersey. John Updike. Random House (1959 sales: more than $12 million) has the late Eugene O'Neill and Sinclair Lewis, as well as Faulkner. John O'Hara, Robert Penn Warren, Truman Capote, Isak Dinesen, Irwin Shaw, James Michener...
