August 27, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses several books. Titles and authors of some of those books are "Seed," by Charles G. Norris, "Shepherds in Sackcloth," by Sheila Kaye-Smith, "Strangers May Kiss," by Ursula Parrott, "Peace," by Arne Garborg and translated from the Norwegian by Phillips Dean Carleton. The book titled "Seed" is Norris's latest work. It is more a disquisition than a novel, a patently didactic discussion of that time-worn question, whether or not birth-control is a frustration of God's design in nature. In this drama of misfortune is a young novelist and his wife whose marriage is temporarily wrecked owing to misunderstandings and poverty arising from unwelcome children.
