PRECOCIOUS STORIES
“Stories In Embryo,” by Lindsay M. Constable (Wellington: The Handcraft Press).
The best feature of these stories is that they have a certain precocity that may develop into a more assured literary style. The writer is apparently in a formative stage, troubled by conscious striving for effect —a fault that destroys the unity and purpose of his stories. Some of them have a certain dramatic strength which gives them meaning, and there are occasional flashes of sincere perception.
