US Courts Knocked by an English Author
London November 29. Alan Upward, English novelist and barrister, has published The Divine Mystery, printed at his expense and withdrawn from two London publishers to oppose American sheet sales. He plans to donate the entire 1000 copies to charity after distribution, criticizing publishers and alleging unfair practices by American publishers and lack of impartial U.S. courts for natives vs foreigners. The note links Upward with the Rational Welsh Gorsedd and Athens’ learned societies, while critics promise readable, adventurous writing.
