This article presents information on two books "Love Among the Cannibals," by Wright Morris and "From the Dark Tower," by Ernst Pawel. Both books are written in rebellion against the effortlessly mindless values of a post-war America. The book by Morris is a half-sardonic journey into unadulterated sex, and generates its fiction by insistent mockery of a romantic point of view. The book by Pawel is, reportedly, far sociologically in intent than Morris's new novel. It strikes out boldly against the greedy unknowingness of the Organization Man's way of it as Sloan Wilson's "The Man in the Gray Flannel Siut" and Howard Swiggett's "The Durable Fire."
