BELOW FOLLOWS A RECORD OF THIRTY DISTINCTIVE VOLUMES PUBLISHED BETWEEN
OCTOBER 1, 1920 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1921.
I. AMERICAN AUTHORS
GHITZA AND OTHER ROMANCES OF GYPSY BLOOD, by _Konrad Bercovici_
(Boni & Liveright). This is the best volume of short stories published
by an American author this year. It consists of nine epic fragments
which are studies in passionate color of Roumanian gypsy life. Mr.
Bercovici's work bears no trace of special literary influences, and he
has moulded a new form for these stories which disobeys successfully all
the codes of story writing. Whether we are to regard him as an American
or a European artist seems of little importance. The essential point is
that he and Sherwood Anderson are the most significant new short story
writers who have emerged in America within the past five years.
HOMESPUN AND GOLD, by _Alice Brown_ (The Macmillan Company).
Miss Brown's new collection of fifteen short stories, which she has
written during the past thirteen years, is not one of her best books,
but it is of considerable importance as one more contribution to the
literature of New England regionalism.
