Abstract

The Street as Hero
Fadiman, Clifton | April 13, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Magnolia Street," by Louis Golding. In a very real sense it is a characterless novel. True enough, it contains some half a hundred characters, all carefully though not deeply studied; but it has no hero, no heroine, no villain. As the title implies, it tells the story of a street, Magnolia Street in Doomington, England, and of its Jewish and Gentile dwellers. The fortunes of the characters are followed in some detail from the year 1910 to the year 1930, when the Magnolia Street party finally reunites them.
