Sardinian Smile and Jerusalem Going to Jerusa Lem in Book Review
Romanian exile Dumitriu writes of aristocratic cruelty and modern disillusion in The Sardinian Smile while Charyn's Going to Jerusalem probes human folly and mythic symbols through a Swedish archaeologist and a domineering wife in a Sardinian setting. Crystalline prose and stark characters lift flawed narratives, though meaning wavers amid heavy allegory.

Pure gesture of friendship in Pacific Orbit review
A critical review of the edited volume Pure gesture of friendship, published by Cheshire’s, priced at $525. The piece surveys Prefaces by J. G. Gorton and Lynden Watson, noting chapters on the American alliance, defense partnership, and American investment in Australia. It finds many chapters derivative and argues a detailed history of the Australian American Association would be more valuable, though acknowledges the editors aimed to reflect the association’s view on bilateral relations.
