Burt’s New Book
(Continued from page one)
moving novel is so amiably phlloso.
phical in its overtonf^s, so optimistic
about America and Americans in
general. If pessimistic about a pocket,
ful of influential Philadelphians, that
one turns from it with a renewed con.
viction that, in the words of Felix,
we may some day be able to take an
oath amongst ourselves of mutual
assistance, if for no other reason
than our common pity that we all
are now alive and will so soon be
dead ...”
Conceding the plot is good, but
taking the stand that it is not of im
portance, Mrs. Russell in Literary
Lantern of the Charlotte Observer re
lates: "Here are ideas on many iis-
pects of human experience. Love in
marriage, love outside niairiage. chil.
dren, family and its relationships, so.'
ciety, hunger, gluttony^ riches, pov. ’
erty, cities and country life—all these
and more are considered seriously
and with some originality. It is ap.
parent that Mr. Burt has done a good
deal of honest thinking, much of
which he has put into the book. He
also has woven into the fabric n good
ly portion of wisdom which comes
from wide experience seriously con
sidered . . . We confess this is the
first of his books we have read. Our
intention now is to road others . ■ • ”,
The newsmagazine Time was least!
favor.Tble toward the book of review's
in widely circulated publications.
With Time’s not unusual .sarcasm, its
reviewer comments:
"Maxwell Struthers Burt of Phila
delphia iuid Wyoming knows how to
write an almost convincing Simula,
crum of a first clas.<; nnvel. (Tgrorant
Time mentions not Rurt’.<» winter
home. Southern Pines I. Self.as.sured
but not glib, he re.spects and admires
the English language, has a plentiful
supply of ideas, puts enough com.
plexity and conf'adiction into his
characters to keep them from being
stereotypes. It i.s like a creation of
a culture pearl: an irritant is careful.
Iv introduced into the oyster, which I
then obediently builds up a globe of,
pearly sub.stance, as smooth and;
gleaming to the casual glance as the|
real thing . . .
"Author BiU't is an excellent re
porter. and he is at his best in de
scribing the Philadelphia phenome
non—.the mingled ugliness and beauty
of the city, its noble traditions and
wasted opportunities and decay, its
hindly and brainle.ss aristocrats, the
'veird customs and stately orgies of
its men’s clubs, the pa.stronomic
peaks of its cuisine ...”
As The Pilot was going to pre.ss, it
received a communication from Mi.ss
Donna Bredbeck, formerly of South,
ern Pines, from Port Clinton, Ohio,
enclosing a review of Mr. Burt’s new
book written by Ted Robinson in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mr. Robinson, like his colleagues
further east, l*kes "Along These
Streets" and doesn’t mince words
saying so:
"... I must inevitably hail any
new novel by Struthers Burt as an
important event in American litera.
ture ... I modify none of niy admira
tion for the author's style, humor
end acute observation. Nor did I need
rea.ssurance as to his story telling
ability or his power to create credi.
ble characters. All these things are
apparent in ‘Along These Streets,’
which becomes by their pre.sence a
richly rewarding book. Not that some
people are not going to be very angry
about it . . . Finally, this is not a
book about Philadelphia. It is a book
about America, by an American.”
