Night of the Poor by Frederic Prokosch. Harper. $2.50
Tommy Gallagher’s Crusade by James T. Farrell. Vanguard Press. $1.00
The Hospital by Kenneth Fearing. Random House. $2.00
Two of these novels are impressive, but none is quite successful. Kenneth Fearing is a better poet than Frederic Prokosch, but he is not a practiced novelist; Prokosch himself is less successful than he has been; and James Farrell reveals himself to be hardly a novelist at all.
