Abstract

Small Ways of Small People
Fadiman, Clifton P. | November 20, 1929 issue

The article presents information on the book "Money for Love," by Josephine Herbst. Emotions of all Herbst's characters are, as it were, stepped down, reduced several degrees. Love is not transformed into lust but minimized into a kind of weary attraction. Titles of her two books are significant, "Nothing Is Sacred" and "Money for Love." There is fatigue in the perfectly unselfconscious casualness of these apparently shocking phrase combinations. With respect to tightness of structure and parsimony of phrase, Miss Herbst's second novel is a considerable improvement over her first.
