...laughing speech learned from immemorial tradition and the local Blarney Stone. In a style extraordinarily luminous and concise Author Stuart's novel treats of highly-pitched human relations, no less real for being rare. Though peculiarly Irish, they are peculiarly human as well. The book, probably too poetic to be popular, will be rated by knowing heads as one of the most remarkable to come from Ireland since her so-called Renaissance...
...items charged to his account in 14 months. Generous Mr. Ryan showers his friends with presents-diamond roosters, coral monkeys, oxblood coral Buddhas, zodiac charms, brooches, bracelets, a handbound copy of the encyclical on marriage to Pope Pius XI.

Restored to health after years of invalidism he now spends much time at Piping Rock Club, writing verses which he has privately printed, distributes and reads to his friends.

In Soviet River the translators have done their somewhat bumpy level best to transcribe Author Leonov's highly poetic but naturalistic style...
...said however that we have missed the one significant gesture in the whole procedure. We are acutely aware of the fact that the cruise up Shepard street and the planting of the red lantern--later much multiplied by permission or poetic license--must have been somewhat in the nature of discovery number two, and that the state of the mob's psychology in the middle of the quadrangle must have been much akin to that of the CRIMSON reporter who found himself crossing the Radcliffe Yard not long ago and emerged on the other side with gratifying editorial comments...
