...faded tri-color cockade, ancient and light, like a dry flower?" So says Author Valentine Kataev. Capitalist readers might reply: easier said than done. Not all the conviction in the world will make propaganda into art. But Author Kataev can fill his own bill. Time, Forward!, a novel about concrete mixing, is one of the most exciting books that ever came out of Russia. On the dusty steppe, four days out of Moscow, a big construction is going up. There are the usual difficulties: living quarters are overcrowded, uncomfortable, dirty; food is scanty and not too good; the water supply...
LONG PENNANT-Oliver La Farge- Houghton Mifflin ($2.50). Author La Farge is making the most of his map. His 1929 Pulitzer Prize novel (Laughing Boy) was laid in the U. S. Southwest; Sparks Fly Upward took Central America for its scene; in Long Pennant he follows the fortunes of Rhode Island privateers of 1812 coming home from a long cruise.

The armed brig Glimpse, Jonas Dodge, Master, was three years out of Chog's Cove...

For seven years she has assisted him in perfecting what he believes to be a momentous medical discovery. Suddenly she runs away from her drudgery with a banker who has had a motor wreck outside their home...

But when Mr. Hemingway disregards entirely one side of his work, as he has done with several of the short stories in "Winner Take Nothing," we are inclined to think that he has been overestimated as a stylist...
Ever since the War, Ford Madox Ford has been writing novels that read like autobiographies (Some Do Not, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, The Last Post). Now he has written an autobiography that reads like a novel. In It Was the Nightingale he has "employed every wile known to me as novelist-the time-shift, the progression d'effet, the adaptation of rhythms to the pace of the action." Author Ford's well-known three-dotty style is not likely to attract many new 'readers at this late date. But his faithful followers will...
