...Door," is laid in the Delta country of the Mississippi, but also because a dark and forbidding pessimism is the net result of a somewhat unreal tale in which death, crime, and violence play their full part. To consider March a mental step-child of Faulkner is, however, extremely unjust. "Come in at the Door" is March's second novel, and, obviously an experiment in form, it likewise leaves a strong impression of being all experiment in subject matter and in attitude. In inclines one to believe--and to hope fervently, for March's possibilities are manifestly great that...

This situation is, of course, unjust to Superintendent Gill. He and not Commissioner Dillon, has been made the target for an attack on the entire Massachusetts prison system. Mr. Hurley has done yeoman work in making the knot more difficult by violating the governor's injunction against publicity, and by spreading through the newspapers a hopeless mass of sensational and unclassified criticism.

If Mr. Gill had been under civil service...
