ROGER BLOOMER-John Howard Lawson-Seltzer ($1.75). Produced last March by the Equity Players, Roger Bloomer at once gave rise to acrid critical warfare. "Arresting, daring, stimulating, fine," cried some. "Trash, hocuspocus, ineffective nonsense," muttered others. No doubt the publication of the play in book form will arouse an equally lively discussion. The story is that of a dreamy kid from Iowa-his adventures, struggles and failures with life and New York. A novel dramatic experiment well worth reading even by those who will be most irritated...
...GRAESLER-Arthur Schnitzler- Seltzer ($2.50). Dr. Graesler, middle-aged physician at a small German health-resort, reserved, dry, serious, melancholy, had never had the success in life that his natural abilities promised. Left alone by the sudden suicide of his sister, he was vaguely drawn into a search for belated romance and spiritual content. Three women crossed his path. He quite intended to marry the first, but they misunderstood each other fatally, and nothing came of it. The second became his mistress-and died of scarlet fever contracted from little Fanny, Frau Sommer's child, a patient of Graesler...
...very popular exposition of the work of Eugen Steinach, Viennese Ponce de Leon (TIME, July 30, Oct. 8), has appeared from the pen of George F. Corners, a newspaperman, and from the press of Thomas Seltzer, who specializes in works of imaginative literature likely to incur the hostility of John S. Sumner and other censors...
OPEN ALL NIGHT-Paul Morand- Seltzer ($2.00). A brilliant, sardonic mind vivisects post-War Europe with the knives of irony and folly. Five adventures, five nights- Catalonian, Turkish, Roman, Parisian, Hungarian-five exotically unexpected women and their dealings with a cochon international. The distorted and rapid scene of modern life is seen as if under the concentrated and sudden light of successive explosions of flashlight-powder; incredible life-histories are compressed into a few pages. Morand is one of the most individual of modern French writers and this is the first American translation of his work-a translation, which...
KANGAROO-D. H. Lawrence-Seltzer ($2.00). Kangaroo seems to be the best novel Mr. Lawrence has written since The Rainbow. There are interesting human beings in it, the prose is often of extraordinary beauty, the ferocious preoccupation with sex that disfigured Women in Love is much less in evidence. The story is that of Richard Somers, poet and essayist, who went to Australia with his wife because he had made up his mind that Europe, after the War, was played out, done for, and he wished to find out what new spirit or spiritual impulse might be abroad...
