A critical notice on Eric Linklater and Graeme Kent books, detailing Challenger voyage findings and missionary histories in the Pacific. The Challenger account highlights depth sounding and dredging feats, with praise for Linklater’s prose and Kent’s more uneven method.
A long, garbled account discusses Abwehr and Allied counterintelligence during World War II. It claims German secret operations against the US and Britain, mentions Norden bombsight and Allied deception, and critiques postwar legends of espionage.
The Times and Jonathan Cape prize panel, led by Lord Siler, selected John Sladek for a winning tale in The Times Anthology of Detective Stories. Sladek’s "By An Unknown Hand" is a tight whodunnit with a fleshed out character, while other finalists included The Case of the Vanishing Spinster and Other Mystery Stories. The piece notes mixed quality and hopes for future writers, praising some authors and questioning others.
Review of Marie-Louise Bruce's Anne Boleyn biography praises scholarly restraint yet faults the author for overrelying on Freudian theory and skeletal characterisation. The critic notes strong prose and period detail but laments lacked vivid portrayal of Anne herself and calls the work a mixed achievement.
A review of Cynthia Hicks's first collection highlights seven stories, noting one unusually stark tale where a rabbi commits suicide in a park for love. The critic admires the vivid language, complex metaphors, and the author's blending of Yiddish culture with modern themes. Hicks stands apart from American Jewish fiction, offering a rare, ambitious artistry.
Patricia A. Marley critiques Maurice Dunlevy on Patrick White arguing a religious mystic theme underpins White’s novels. The study links Jung Dostoevsky and Tolstoy to White’s total vision while noting the author’s sympathetic yet blinkered thesis. Australian scholars may push deeper cultural integration of White’s work.
The editor claims ten authentic stories shape the South Seas volume with realism as the criterion. The collection blends authentic tales by Snow with fiction or mixed fact pieces by Heyer Dahl Melville Grimble Martin Vandercook Michener Grove Day Stevenson, omitting Maugham Hecke Poritaus London Osbourne Hall Burdick.
