This article literally appraises the book "The Strange Necessity," by Rebecca West. Miss West took a walk in Paris one day that turned out to be an excursion in criticism. Pondering over the badness of a poem by James Joyce, which she had just purchased in a bookshop, she was led to consider the strange necessity of art. The intricate process by which she reached certain conclusions is more interesting than the conclusions themselves.
