Brilliant Brazilian Novelist Writes
Historical Novel of Tremendous Scape
TIME AND THE WIND
By Erico Verissimo.
Translated from the Portugese by L. L. Barrett. (Macmillan;
$4.95.)
Reviewed by Carter Brooke Jones
Senhor Verissimo, a Brazilian
novelist, is one of the ablest
writers in all South America.
Several years ago, in an article
written exclusively for The
Sunday Star Christmas Book
Section, he said: “Let us shun
all pretense and frankly admit
that the intellectual world of
Latin America has always been
a kind of mirror turned toward
Europe, the art and literature
of which it has reflected some
times with fidelity but more
often with distortions.’.’

order to reach a larger public,
or unconsciously, as a result of
having absorbed too many
American movies and novels.
But a strong reaction is already
beginning to manifest itself.
And its principal characteristic
Is anti-American.”
Deeply Rooted in Brazil.
Senhor Verissimo, at least,
does not seem to have followed
any European or North Ameri
can pattern in his fiction. He
has gone his own way, and his
new book, a historical novel of
tremendous scope, has its roots
deep in the soil of his own
Brazil.
“Time and the Wind” is a
bold, sweeping attempt to re
capture something of the es
sense of life in the southern
most part of the country, in the
province of Rio Grande do Sul,
from early days to compara
tively recent times. The ven
ture succeeds to a remarkable
degree.
The author has traced the

The Life Story of a Busy Physician
Who Combined His Two Great Skills
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS
(Random House; $3.75.)
Through the years Dr. Wil
liams has combined his voca
tion, practicing medicine, with
his avocation, writing, to such a
remarkable degree that not only
has one never interfered with
the other, but they have com
plemented each other in away
which has made them seem to
him almost a single occupation.
Looking back, at 68, on a rich
and crowded life, he explains
that he has learned what he
has been able to write in his
poems and stories from his pa
tients, from their reactions in
moments of stress, from un
guarded comments when they
forgot to utter, the little con
ventional lies with which peo
ple meet most situations.
“That is why,” he points out,
“as a writer I have never felt
that medicine interfered with
me, but rather that it was my
very food and drink, the very
thing which made it possible for
me to write. Was I not inter
ested in man? There the thing
was, right in front of me. I
could touch it, smell it. ... I
knew it was an elementary
world I was facing, but I have
always been amazed at the au
thenticity with which the sim
ple-minded often face that
world when compared with Jhe
tawdriness of the public view
point exhibited in reports from
the world at large.”
During the years Dr. Williams
practiced in and around the
town of Rutherford, N. J., living
half a mile from the spot where
he was born, he has written con
stantly. Although he has done
novels and short stories, he has
always thought of himself as a
poet. Slowly, gradually, his
poems have brought him fame,
despite their novelty of form,
identified with the literary ad
vance guard and little maga
zines: despite the subtlety of
their content, which many a
reader must have puzzled over
at times.
There is, however, no Joycean,
Wolfesque obscurity of line or
meaning in this autobiography.
It is a straightforward account
of the doctor’s life, absorbing

1895. Even the technic of this
novel Is original, does not de
rive from any historical novelist
I can recall. narrative
opens in 1895, with the city of
Santa Fe besieged by revolu
tionists. Only one house holds
out at the moment, that of Li
curgo Combara, and enemy
snipers pick off his men when
they even go to the well for
water. His wife is in childbirth;
their situation is desperate, but
Licurgo, like all his family be
fore him, has no thought of sur
render.
The Mystical Pedro.
The story flashes back, in a
part called “The Source,” to
1745 A priest from the Jesuit
mission is called to the side of
a dying woman. She dies, but
her baby lives. The Jesuits call
him Pedro, and he grows up a
sharp lad, light enough to indi
cate he is part European. Pedro
is gifted in music, as many In
dians are, and he has a mysti
cal side—he seems to foretell
events which affect them all.
Pedro is one of the founders of
the family.
The author sketches in per
suasively the whole background
of one of those early missions.
We see the beauty of the ca
thedral w T hich the priests and
Indians have built, the talents
of the Indians in music, painting
and sculpture, their skill in
crafts and their peaceful ways.
Then come the intrigues of the
conquerors, the striving between
Spain and Portugal for certain
territory, the removal of the
Indians from their homes and
their fierce revolt.
Like an Epic Poem.
The transitional story is too
comprehensive and complex
even to summarize. It comes
to more than 600 pages of close
print, and yet it is richly re
warding in pictures of people
and changing eras. “Time and
the Wind” is particularly free
from the romantic cliches with
which most historical novels
abound. It has love and violence
in ample measure and yet they
seem to stem from the natural
ways of those involved, not from
an artificial plot. The writing
is swift and free in form, often
with the sweep of an epic poem.

in its delineation of his adven
tures and the people he has
known.
It was not that Dr. Williams
thought of writing after he be
gan knowing people through his
practice. He wanted to write
from adolescence. Becoming a
doctor was an intebthought, but
it must have been an inspira
tion, because as a physician
with a special interest in pedia
trics he is beloved in his com
munity. He was determined from
the first that he would write
what he pleased, which meant,
he realized at once, that he could
not depend on it for a livelihood.
His early literary god was Keats,
and his first book of poems, writ
ten when he was in the medical
school at the University of Penn
sylvania, was an exercise in
Keatsian lyricism. Realizing
later that Keats did not need
rewriting, he burned these lyrics
and turned to new forms.
Dr. Williams writes percep
tively of his friends of early and
later years, among them “H. D.,”
Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore,
Charles Demut, Gertrude Stein,
Ford Maddox Ford and Heming
way. Is there no getting away
from Ezra Pound? But in the
autobiographer’s case there is
excuse, for he and Ezra went
to college together and often
met later, though Dr. Williams
says he could take the cryptic
poet only in small doses. Dr.
Williams finally visited Pound
in St. Elizabeths Hospital, where
the poet was committed instead
of facing trial for treason.
Dr. Williams’ recollections of
his years as intern and resi
dent in New York hospitals,
of his stays in Europe, of his
Spanish-speaking, part-French
mother and his lively father are
particularly fascinating.

Books Rated With Chicken Feed in Parcel
Post Bill and the Industry Loves It
By Mary McGrory
Books have been called a lot
of things in their day—some
good, some bad. Last week,
however, they may have been
put in their place for once and
for all. In the Senate parcel
post bill they were classified
with baby fowl and agricultural
products.
And, believe it or not, the
book industry cheered.
Now ordinarily the mention
of books in connection with
chicken and chicken feed would
be enough to send enlightened
men into the deepest despond
ency over philistine Senators.
Actually, it’s the nicest thing
that Congress had done for lit
erature in a long time.
For by this classification,
books are exempted from the
limit of 72 inches of girth and
40 pounds of weight which will
now be imposed on all packages
destined for parcel post travel.
Thus large shipments of books
will still be able to go by parcel
post instead of the more expen
sive railway express.
The Senate went even further
in kindness the same day, in
this instance by neglect. In
the postal rates bill, which saw
rates for post cards, airmail,
newspapers and magazines all
hiked up, book rates were ig
nored, that is to say, left as is.
They will remain at 8 cents
for the first pound and 4 cents
for each additional pound.
Both bills must still clear the
House, but books have an ex
cellent chance of retaining the
advantage given them by the
Senate. House Postal Commit
tee members when last con
sulted about proposed increases
in book rates agreed that the
raise of 500 per cent since 1938
was quite enough, and that
books should not be further
penalized.
That was before any one
classed them with small fowl
and agricultural products, too.

Dr. Griffith Writes a New
Book About Congress
Generally speaking, it’s prob
ably not the best idea in the
world to write a book about your
boss while you’re still working
for him. It can be done, though,
and no bones broken as proven
by Ernest Griffith, director of
the Legislative Reference Serv
ice of the Library of Congress,
and author of “Congress: Its
Contemporary Role.”
Quite naturally. Dr. Griffith,
who has ben answering congres
sional questions since 1940,
rather hesitated when first ap
proached by New York Univer
sity to give the Stokes lectures
on Congress. The lectures form
the basis of his book, which was
published on August 31.
After due consideration, he
decided that it could be done
judiciously while retaining the
friendship of his 531 bosses.
The regard is apparently
mutual. Since publication, Dr.
Griffith has heard nothing but
praise from members, who are
pleased to have themselves fa
vorably prosented for a change.
Dr. Griffith has been struck
again and again by the “gulf
between the popular picture of
our national legislative body
and its reality.” He thinks
that members of Congress could
do a great deal to rectify these
ideas by writing more about
their congressional careers. Has
he ever suggested bo some of
the more literate members that
they do this?
“I never tell a member wj^at
he should do.” replies Dr. Grif
fith, thereby maintaining invio
late the legislative reference
service’s spotless record of ob
jectivity.

Vera Bloom Comes Back
To 'Mull Over' a New Book
Vera Bloom, daughter of the
late Representative from New
York and long-time House For
eign Affairs Committee chair
man, Sol Bloom, is back
in Washington, mulling over her
publisher’s request that she write
a novel about the Capitol.
“The question is,” she says,
“could I write one and stay
here?” Meanwhile, the author
of “There’s No Place Like
Washington” and “The Enter
taining Lady” is reaping the
rewards of an old literary effort
—the words for the tango,
“Jealousy.” Nobody could be
more surprised, either.
Fifteen years ago at luncheon,
Miss Bloom heard the song,
bought the music, and in 15
minutes had dashed off a set
of lyrics for it. Thereafter,
every three months a check for
about $6.90 or thereabouts came
in. Then suddenly, Frank Si
natra sang it in a picture called
“Anchors Aweigh,” television
took it up, and the first thing
Miss Bloom knew, she was get
ting royalty checks for 100
times as much as before.
“It’s certainly more profitable
than writing a book,” says Miss
Bloom, and I wrote it as fast
as you write a telegram, while a
book takes two years."
That doesn’t mean she’s gone
back on bookwriting entirely.
Right now she’s doing some
more songs—her father wrote
a famous one, too—but she
knows the chances of hitting
the jackpot again are one in a
million. Besides, she thinks
completion of a book brings a
much greater feeling of satis
faction.
A Readable Study of Anti-Semitism
THE MAGIC PEOPLE
An Irishman Appraises the
Jews. By Arland Ussher. (The
Devin-Adair Co.; $2.75.)
To a subject that usually
calls forth the most lugubrious
and oppressive in a writer, Mr.
Ussher brings the wit of the
true-born Irishman, the ir-.
reverence of the existentialist
and the not entirely conclusive
analytical powers of the Freud
ian. His book, which is sparkling
and provocative, is certainly at
least one of the most readable
analyses yet printed of the
springs of Anti-Semitism, which
is still the shame of the west
ern world.
He leads into the discussion
with a highly unorthodox, oc
casionally hilarious summary of
the Old Testament, followed by
a contentious recounting of the
life of Christ, wherein, of course,
he finds the crux of the matter.
“It is my belief that the long,
tragic misunderstanding be
tween the Jew and the Gentile
can be ended on two condi
tions only—conditions perhaps
not very likely to be fulfilled,
and only capable of being ful
filled in reciprocity: Namely
that the Jews learn to accept
the greatest of their sons—
that the Christians consent to
honor the race which produced
the greatest child of man.”
But it is in recounting the
staggering persecution of the

Now It's Norman's
Life of Johnson
To Turn the Tide
MR. ODDITY: Samuel John
son, LL.D.
By Charles Norman. (Bell
Publishing Co.; $4.)
While they both lived, James
Boswell asked nothing more
than to be straight man for
Samuel Johnson. Posterity has
so Sharply reversed this state
of affairs that by now, to most
people, Johnson’s greatest rea
son for being was to provide
Boswell with the subject of one
of the world’s greatest biogra
phies.
Time has only deepened the
irony. .This' winter, Boswell
emerged as an incomparable
diarist, so candid and various
that his “London Journals”
have charmed thousands of
readers. There is, moreover,
much more of the same to
come.
In what might be an effort to
bring the scales a little more
into balance before it is too
late, Charles Norman has pre
sented a new, kindly, but not
really convincing biography of
the “Great Cham of Literature.”
Mr. Norman believes that John
son influenced the prose style
of Churchill and the poetry of
A. E. Housman. In preparing
his story, he has borrowed freely
from Boswell, which is a sen
sible thing to do. Why he
should scramble the chronology
oi Johnson’s life is another mat
ter.
Crushing Rejoinder.
Although to this generation
Johnson seems a good, if pon
derous man whose greatest
aptitude was in the field of the
crushing rejoinder, he was in
his day a lion of prodigious
learning and stupendous con
versational powers. There were
those, however, who while they
admired him, preferred to do so
at a distance, being repelled by
his scrofulous countenance, his
slovenly appearance, his awk
ward manners and his violent
twitchings From the begin
ning a succession of bluestock
ings (ideal women, the author
calls them> sat at his feet. It
was a cruel blow when the
seemingly permanent tenant of
this post, Mrs. Thrale, eloped
with an Italian music-master.
But there was always Boswell,
yipping and cheering at his
heels, a jack-in-the-box who
lived on the master’s squelch
ing.
Johnson was his generation’s
most incurable man about town.
Lonely after the death of his
wife and a fugitive from his
own squalid lodgings (where a
string of retainers lived off his
little bounty) he found in a
tavern chair “the throne of hu
man felicity.” He held spell
bound for hours such men as
Garricks. Goldsmith and Reyn
olds.
Mr. Norman believes that be
tween such visits and frolics,
Johnson lived the life of a man
“oppressed by poverty and bur
dened by conscience.” Presum
ably his mother filled him with
a childish terror of the here
after that never left him. From
his father he inherited a haunt
ing fear of madness. But few
men have been more soothed
by attention and applause in
their lifetimes or better pre
sented to future generations.
Mr. Norman's biography, may, I
fear, only serve again to en
hance the reputation of John
son’s first and greatest bi
ographer. —MARY McGRORY.
Jews under Hitler that he pro
duces his most disputable argu
ment. The unspeakable oppres
sions of the Jews by the Ger
mans came from the suocon
scious resentment, not just of
the Jews, but of Christ. “It is
the hatred of Europe for its
King Jesus, a hatred which
threw the German masses at
the feet of their true master,
the modern Caesar.”
Mr Ussher insists it has not
been intention to shock his fel
low Christians or to give pain
to the Jews. He may well have
done both while disarming all
bj tne liveliness of his presen
tation, his quizzical and shrewd
appreciation of the Jewish and
the Gentile character. It is
difficult to say how much good
his book will accomplish on the
practical level; it is avowedly
philosophical. Meanwhile he
has done no small thing in
bringing r.umor and airy candor
to the discussion.
