On a Destroyer
HIS novel, the publishers say, took Marcus Goodrich five years to write. He served in the American Navy himself. When an experience has meant a great deal to an observing and thoughtful man, memory and imagination’ often take a fruitfully long time to work out, in words, a reconstruction of it that satisfies both. That’s the way the facts were, says memory; that’s what.the facts meant, and have come to mean, says imagination. It’s this double result-the fact remembered and the significance revived or found — that makes a living, a complex, a complete impression; and that’s what you have in Delilah? men and ,environment made real together,(From a review of " Delilah," by Marcus Goodrich. Reviewed by J. H. E. Schroder, 3¥A, May. 26.)
