This article presents information on several books. Among others, the article include the book "Pay Day," by Nathan Asch. This story is a studied report rather than a novel. But it is a swiftly moving, accurate, and engrossing report. The book is about a thirty-dollar-a-week clerk. He is very young and it is pay day. And he has a date with a new girl. He boards the Bronx-bound subway express, washes up and has supper, and "beats it" back downtown again to keep his date. Jim's thoughts roam a dark forest. They are dominated by fear and sex urge in turn.
