This article focuses on the book "Time and the Town: A Provincetown Chronicle," by Mary Heaton Vorse. In this book, author Mary Heaton Vorse is at her best in telling the story of her early years in Provincetown, Massachusetts, from 1907 to 1917, before automobiles and three-hour tourists came to clog its two long narrow streets and its maze of narrower cross lanes. Her description of the old Kibbe Cook house, which has been her home for thirty-five years, is a fine and sensitive piece of writing. Probably because the pattern of life at Provincetown, as elsewhere in the U.S., began to fall apart into rather meaningless pieces after the last war, the chronicle is not so rewarding in its final sections.
