...Updike made a talented try at marrying priapism to poetry by using hard-breathing language as the preacher. Your review almost succeeded where Updike's novel fails-that is, to see beyond the current public American view of sexuality as a gee-whiz genital performance. But neither your reviewer nor Updike ever really found a way out of Updike's Tarbox. I believe you ought to get some reading done away from the Greenwich commuter's bar car.

In content, it is both the record of a day in Cambridge, from late morning rising til next morning's dawn, and a series of forays into political analysis, artistic exorcism, historical recreation, lyric and comic experiment. Informal in atmosphere, the action of White Sale is remarkable for the case and familiarity with which seemingly disparate ideas, styles, and techniques move together on its stage. These actors, who both take parts in individual sequences and retain strong...
