Abstract

Tales of Revolt
Smertenko, Johan J. | November 21, 1923 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on two books on revolts. They are "Robert Gregory. The History of a Little Soul," by John Owen and "Holiday," by Waldo Frank. The first book should be "required reading" for the U.S. clerk, though one need not be a clerk to appreciate and understand the pain and the struggle recorded in it. The story wins one's sympathy immediately. Like all true art, it achieves the identification of subject and spectator. "Holiday" is simply a lyrical outburst, whereas "Robert Gregory" is a definitive study of man and manners.
