Something For Her Admirers Something For Her Admirers
Elizabeth Bowen’s Seven Winters And Afterthoughts, Alfred A. Knopf, $5, reviewed by John Barkham. The critic praises Bowen’s “Afterthoughts” for its intelligent essays on writing, notes a weaker opening autobiographical section, highlights her enthusiasm for Woolf Mansfield and Forster, and commends her rules on engaging characters and strong openings while cautioning that some modern novels may overstep reader interest.
