The article discusses several books. The book "Nikolai Gogol," by Vladimir Nabokov is an inadequate study of the great Russian writer. Brilliantly appreciative as Nabokov is of the grotesque side of Gogol and, indeed, of all that side of him which relates to the poetry of the irrational and the spirit of incongruity and mystification, be has no eye whatever for the social-historical and peculiarly national background of his subject. The book "America and the Americas," provides a very frank and realistic appraisal, with forecast, of the state of inter-American relations.
