Memoirs Of A Shy Pornographer by Kenneth Patchen. New Directions. $3.00.
Purchasers attracted by the last word in the title will be pretty sure to feel sold, like movie-goers who find the film not living up to the posters in the lobby. But what pornography there is in this book is not shy. And this fiction is much too random a performance for a set of memoirs. So the title is not descriptive, though probably the dizziest of the season.
