Meet the Wife
Loving, Pierre | January 8, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

In this article, the author focuses on the book "The School for Wives," by André Gide. In this brief and remarkably condensed novel Gide shows himself to be not only profound but over-subtle, for so astidiously has he handled the character drawing and the central theme that the real point is likely to be missed. In the book "The Counterfeiters" the author used the diary framework to give his people neighborly reality and to enable him to comment freely upon them and their affairs, although the comment is limited strictly by the terms the novelist, whose notebook people are supposed to be reading.
