THE NEW YORKER “Tell Me a Book to Read”

Some of the Season′s Novels We Think Best Worth While

, by John Galsworthy (Scribner’s). Fine by itself, and continues his “Forsyte Saga” to the present time.

, by Anna Douglas Sedgwick (Houghton, Mifflin). The pleasant love story, Anglo-French, that is Best-Selling.

, by E. M. Forster (Harcourt, Brace). A foaming-up of India’s race hate, pictured with searching skill.

, by Michael Arlen (Doran). Champagne stuff, sweet but worth drinking, about a light-o’-love and her playmates.

, by John Masefield (Macmillan). Wild tropical adventure, “unworthy of Masefield,” but—try to put it down!

, by Hugh Walpole (Doran). As quiet and unpretentious as its title, and Walpole’s best novel.

, by Freeman Wills Croft (Seltzer). For detective story fans.

, by A. E. W. Mason (Doran). The first detective story with a gimcrack plot that we have ever liked.

SHORT STORIES

, by Joseph Conrad (Doubleday, Page). Four, all admirable and easy to read; you needn’t be a seasoned Conradian.

, by Frances Newman (Huebsch). Sixteen well-chosen stories illustrate her brilliant theory.

BIOGRAPHIES AND THINGS

(Harper). Haphazard recollections and discursions. Much junk, with much pure gold.

, by Sherwood Anderson (Huebsch). A lifetime full of day-dreams, most artistically remembered.

(A. & C. Boni). Not as funny as seeing and hearing him; top of the humor heap, nevertheless.

, by Selma Lagerlof (Doubleday, Page). Her story of her youth. Charming, if books ever get to be.

(Scribner′s). A side view of T. R. through his own eyes, especially good.

, by E. P. Mitchell (Scribner’s). Dana’s Sun “shop” and much more. An ideal book to dip in.
