“ISLE OF RHYTHM." By Earl Leaf. New York, Barnes, $5.

FOR MANY people reading is a matter of consuming— :

getting the sfory down, like food. They have little time to waste and are responsible for the thin, streamlined narratives. Others want a book as big as a bathtub and enjoy

soaking themselves in it.

Jean Malaquais, a French writer now living in New

York, has written “World Without" Visa” for the latter. He isn’t in a hurry. Neither, apparently, are the perturbed, frustrated, baffled refugees and citizens of Marseilles, who make up the story. 4

By HENRY BUTLER THE DOCUMENTARY satirical novel seems to fascinate writ}:

One reason why it appeals to writers may be that it offers a

{special angles. And so it's not surprising that Cedric Belfrage should choose the undertaking business as & background for his pretty grim satire, “Abide With Me." The book concerns the large and sometimes prosperous group of businessmen who prefer to call themselves Jiorticlans; sin Hy arody of the new-fam - De rtising phrase, they also might be termed men of extinction. Chief man of extinetioh in 1 Belfrage’s novel is Lincoln a Lincoln; son-of amiable - Andre!

Early in his career, while he is studying in a theological semipary, Lincoln 1s persuaded by his ambitious mother to abandon theology for the mortician’s career.

Dr. Wertham is senior psychiatrist in New York City's Department of Hospitals where, according to all authorities, they do some of the best public psychiatric work in this country. .

When he quotes John Mason Brown's phrase about the comics being the “marijuana of the nursery,” he makes no overstatement. No American community would tolerate the sale of drugs ar alcohol to eighth-graders.

Fan French, a frustrated wife, cultivates a radio performer and settles back to a suburban routine. Pendleton, writer y : the janitor’s child as a result of reading about the crime. Father Gibbons, the priest, as well as the reporter, are singularly unable to make an impression on Mr. Smith, father of the

ONE evil result of the news is its effect on an imaginative girl, who invents a story of abuse by a tailor, and at the last the parents are headed for the latter's house. - + As a novel the story is choppy. The invention does not rise much
