EGLEY ("Way of a Transgressor "}
FAR-
SON, American news-
paper man, has written a novel about an American news, paper man. I notice he calls it Story of a Lake (Gollancz, Us. Gd.). But that's just his fun.
There is a lake in the story-n large and lonely one in British Columbla. And the beginning and the end of the tale do describe that Jake and the lives of sundry queer settlers round its forest shore.
But, for more than most of the - time, the author is concerned with the pre-lake existence of one o. these settlers. Tony Lynd, a much- travelled American Journalist, whe hns apparently retired to those solitudes to drink himself quietly to death.
Even in the Far North West, he cannot escape the two however, other curses of his career-women and a flair for being on the spot whenever anything violent disastrous is happening.

So we get plenty of incident. some of it bloodcurdling, and plenty of detail, some of it turk. Too much lacldent and too much detall, in fact. The book is far too full.

Tony, a Ikeable and maddening man, having taken part in too many of the events of Mr. Farson's own exclting life and times, gels beyond control as a character- and the book, judged as a novel, soon becomes awkward and shape- less, a parcel which is always on the verge of coming undone.
But, as a case-bistory of a minu of great vitality and ability doomed to destroy himself by Inches, Story of a Lake is really terrifying.
A trio of women invested Tony's heart, and he couldn't live happily or penreably with any of them. Not with his wife, Christma, or that simple, silly Russian girl, Luba, or the incred Tute Flick, as hard-drinking, hard- boiled a fourmilist as Tony himself.
He certainly did his damnedest. He took a drink cure, which didn't work but nearly killed him. He went volun- turlig Into a mental home, a cold, pure,

I found Tom Harrisson's mass obser- vation report on dance halls in a nurik- ern industrial town particularly inter- esting. He reveals statistically for example, that the percentage of habit- wl Jazz-dancers who did not use their right to vole la municipal and parlia- nientary elections was twelve per cent, higher than the aggregate average of the town's non-vaters.
Mr Harrison argues convincingly enough that "jazz has become or is becoming the religious ritual of post- war youth, and these songs of hope and happiness in a dream-world every moon-tight are the hymns of young England."
Poems by Messrs., Anden and Me- Niece, criticising by Messrs. Spender and Rickword, stories by H. T. Hopkin- son and Tom Burns and a brillant
piece of satire by V. S. Prlichett are only a portion of the remainder of this enterprising and intelligent publication.
