To Ferris Greenslet,
Mar. 22, 1938
; Harvard
Appreciates the copy of Grey of Fallodon, which she enjoyed reading. Did not
like May Sarton's
The Single Hound; didn't
resemble real people. Very different from The Enemy Gods, which she liked very much. Usually does not care
for novels about writers, a genre Robert Louis
Stevenson referred to as cannibalism. George
Gissing's
Grub Street an
exception. Doesn't care for very fanciful fiction either, including Walter de la Mare. The fanciful works well in poetry, but
not in prose.
