Some of these are discussed in a new YA talks series by people no longer on the defensive because they've at last got around to reading them. What do these confessions produces Dorothy Neal White comes up with Proust's The Remembrance of Things Past which, considering its sheer bulk, is a work anyone might be forgivem for putting aside. She will be heard first from 1YA on May 4, Next day 2YA will start the same series with a talk by Anton Vogt on The Yellow Book. Later in talks from these and other YA stations, A. R. D.
