Abstract

The Fun of Being French

Hutchins, Maude | April 28, 1956 issue

This article focuses two books — "The Green Mare," by Marcel Aym&eacute and "The Wicked Village," by Gabriel Chevallier. "The Green Mare" by Marcel Aymé, said to be a steady bestseller in France and his most talked-about novel, gets off to a hilarious start. The book can be read for fun, too, without the reader's troubling himself with what it means. However, artistically, it is as crowded as a busy room, too many diverting objects on a mantelpiece. "The Wicked Village," is of more than documentary value.
