Tales, Moral and Satanic
Krutch, Joseph Wood | July 25, 1953 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses books and authors. In "Satan in the Suburbs and Other Stories," author Bertrand Russell, presents a brief preface which informs us that we readers cannot possibly be more surprised than the author was to find him writing tales, that they are not the result of any long-cherished secret ambition but of a sudden impulse, and that they are intended as pure entertainment. Each of the five which follow is based upon an idea or a fancy rather than upon a character or an observed situation. Each has a certain satiric bite, and, is somewhat ambiguous in its point of view.
