Four Books which we believe readers of
THE LITTLE REVIEW
will wish to read
RAHAB
By WALDO FRANK
RAHAB will undoubtedly be attacked by the
critical descendants of those who reviled Walt
Whitman and by those who heard nothing but
dissonances in the Wagner they now acclaim as
the master melodist. But for all this departure
from the usual, the elemental directness of this
simple tale, its portrayal of varied contem
porary types and of such living issues as the
“double standard” and the interplay in our
society of Gentile and Jew, mean only that
Mr. Frank has made his art of the common
stuff of everyday American life. It is the
sober conviction of the publishers that RAHAB
is the peer in significance and power of
Flaubert’s Bovary, Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot,
Hardy’s Tess. In it the author of “Our
America” and “The Dark Mother” reaches his
full maturity. $2.00
INTRODUCING IRONY
By MAXWELL BODENHEIM
Burton Rascoe in The New York Tribune
recommends this amazing book:
“As being the most unusual and distinctive
volume of poetry of the season; as being the
second volume of a poet whom we find to be
one of the five most interesting and original
in America; as being a product of the most
delicately balanced emotional and analytical
minds we have encountered, and as containing
a quality even more rare in poetry than it is
in prose—authentic irony.” $2.00
THE ENORMOUS ROOM
By E. E. CUMMINGS
John V. A. Weaver, in a recent review, writes:
“When I took up ‘The Enormous Room* I wa9
fully prepared with smelling salts, morphine and
sweet spirits of ammonia; any reaction might
be expected. Any, I mean, except the one I got.
Astounded pleasure. What on earth happened
to Cummings ? How did he ever write what is
to me the most interesting book the war has
produced? I give up. But there it is
Cummings has recorded even more horrifying
conditions that Dos Passos. But through and
through his story is the never-failing joshing,
laughing, kidding, joking in the sewer, as it
were....What a drama! Under the stress of
confinement and misery, Cummings found some
thing.” $2.00
POEMS, 1918-21
By EZRA POUND
Readers of The Little Review are among the
intelligent minority of the population of the
United States to whom Ezra Pound appeals. To
them he needs no introduction. Here is his
latest volume of poetry, full of the hard-headed
brilliance, the terror, irony and polished beauty
that has made Ezra Pound the great international
literary figure that he is today. $2.00
