DO I WAKE OR SLEEP?

by Isabel Bolton ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A sophomoric, florid, Whitmanesque exaltation of New York as the city of the world, held together precariously by an unobtrusive plot. There is an alcoholic writer, ardent young men, a beautiful, romantic refugee with a cretin daughter, an absent-minded, spinsterish poetess, a cocktail party, a luncheon, and literary discussions; but people, and events, remain submerged in the symphony of sounds, feelings, buildings, ideas, conventions, associations which are New York. Here is an essayist -- talent, ingrown and word-Wise, but dramatically ineffectual.
