This article presents information on the book "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon: A Journey Through Yugoslavia," by Rebecca West. To write nearly twelve hundred pages on Yugoslavia, is almost as heroic a feat as to be a Yugoslav. West did it in five years, including her first trip into that land of abject poverty, dark passion, and sublime idealism. West's two thick volumes are a confession of infatuation, to which balanced comprehension would have been an impediment. Her work is superb art inspired by distorted truth--a beautiful creation, but cubistic rather than classic.
