Suckow, Ruth | December 10, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents an overview of the book "The Apple of the Eye," by Glenway Westcott. This novel, in impulse and method, inclines rather toward poetry than toward that vital concern with character which Arnold Bennett names as the basis of pure fiction. The whole book shows the perception of aesthetic form, as every separate sentence shows it. Like his own Dan Strane the author cannot quite make a legend of his own short life--cannot hold these things away from him but must relate them too closely to his own personal existence.
