M, has wecn some thousands of dollars with his first published novel, “The Fault of Angels,” doubtless would give it a “send off.” Mr. Horgan thus is automatically admitted to the company of Margaret Wilson, Anne Parrish, Glenway Westcott, Julian Green and Robert Reynolds. all of whom have won the same prize in years past. But Mr. Horgan's book deserves attention on his own. The artistic life as it manifests itself in a small city is his subject, and it has not been dene before quite as he does it. The reader is made, tem- porarily, a citizen of the small and slightly mad world within a world, and it is a pleasant experience. The small city is Dorchester. The inner world is that of a mu- sic school, with which is com- bined an operatic theatre and a symphony orchestra, all the gift of an industrial magnate whom Mr. Horgan calls “Gunson.” Those who follow music in America may recognize the source of the new novelist’s inspiration, and those who do not will be little the worse for it. The people of the book are vivid and alive, and their progress | through a somewhat fantastic plot quite believable.” There are aston- ishingly few credible musicians in fiction. Allowing - for exaggeration and a certain ex- | huberance that crops up here and | there most readers will find Mr. Horgan’s musicians both amusing and understanable. WIDE CHOICE The week is all-embracing in the | range of its titles. Those who would inform themselves of alleg- ed Soviet atrocities may turn to Essad-Bey's “Ogpu,” which is full of the detail -of official murder. Ear] Derr Biggers fans may feast upon a collection of his shorter pieces,( one novelette and nine short stories, issued under the ti- tle “Farl Det Biggers Tells Ten Stories.” Readers who have wearied of comparatively serious books may find “The Table in a Roar” amus- ing; it is full of jokes, or the English equivalent.
