SOME RECENT NOVELS
Foreigners of every nationality trying to adapt themselves, generally unsuccessfully, to English conditions figure largely in N. Gubsky's new story, "Foreign Bodies" (Elkin, Mathe-ws, and Marrot). Between them they provide plenty o f comedy.
A study of modern life written in distinctly modern style is "The Offence," by Pierre Bost (Elkin, Mathews, and Mouat). Eccentric literary and artistic folk flit through the pages. The scene of "Men of the Jungle," by lon L. Idriess (Angus and Eobertson), is laid in north-eastern Queensland. The story is of three years in the lives of the author and two companions, and is full of thrilling incidents and pen pictures of wild life. Photographic illustrations add to its interest. '.
"God's Foola" (Collins) is another South African novel by Norman Giles on the theme of the eternal triangle. Those who want a mystery novel which will keep them guessing right up to the find can bo recommended to read "The House of Strange Guests," by Nicholas Brady (Geoffrey Blcs).
