Books in Brief
February 19, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the several books published in the periodical. "Shadows of Men," by Jim Tully. Tully has not yet succeeded in conveying to his readers that transcendent sense of universality which is the secret of power in the great literature of the despised and rejected; "Mothers Cry," by Helen Grace Carlisle. The reader who begins this book is likely to finish it; A mother, poor but refined, simple in thought but "rich with life," tells her seemingly artless story with tremendous cumulative effect. It opens with her courtship and ends on the day after her oldest child (and the author herself gives this away at the beginning of the book) dies, a murderer, in the electric chair.
