The article presents brief discussions on several books in the United States. In his fourth novel, "Such Is My Beloved," Morley Callaghan chooses a situation that to many readers will seem disagreeably old-fashioned and sensational. A Catholic priest is a Canadian city meets two prostitutes on a street near his parish house, befriends them in a sincere effort to improve their lives, and in reward gets sent away to a monastery for discipline. In "The Making of Americans," Gertrude Stein decides toward the end of her long chronicle of the people that the family living is being existing. The lives of her characters are supposed to be representative of the kind of lives led by middle class families all over the United States.
