...mothers who work has already begun, and liberated parents and editors are beginning to pressure for change in the textbook industry. Fiction writing will change more gradually, but romantic novels with wilting heroines and swashbuckling heroes will be reduced to historical value. Or perhaps to the sadomasochist trade. (Marjorie Morningstar, a romantic novel that took the '50s by storm, has already begun to seem as unreal as its '20s predecessor, The Sheik.)

His new novel, set in the Caribbean, begins enticingly with...
...when he remarked of Jack Kerouac's work: "That's not writing, that's typing." Novelist Nelson Algren was unable to goad either Sloan Wilson or Herman Wouk into a full-dress feud when he wrote: "If The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit married Marjorie Morningstar on my front porch at high noon, I wouldn't bother to go to the wedding...
