GOOD TALKER
MORE TAVERN TALK, by Collin Brooks; James Barrie. English price, 10/6. ((LUB talk rather, and what clubs, and ~ how many! The people Collin knows! Mr. Brooks-author, journalist, editor, critic, ex-soldier, and man of the world -gossips amiably about’ writers and artists and musicians and _ food: and drink and politicians and lawyers and religion an@ . .-But a sound defence of this collection of anecdotes and reminiscences against captious criticism is the author’s disarming assurance that the book is merely "Brooks’s babble" and "meant to be picked up and laid down at will." Some, quite possibly, will not
lay it aside until finished. : =
