Welsh Life in Short Stories
WVNh life nnd character arc keenly
limned in the Actional word pictures
nslnted by Cnradoc Evans In "My
Neighbor." Ills are small canvases,
in the literary form of the sketch or
short story, but they possess both de
Inil and atmoiphcre. Sneaking from the
tnndpolnt of pictorial technique, the
"(omposltlon" is clear nnd co-ordinated,
Tho subjects are grim rather than
onr, but there aro some delightful
pates in tho book agreeable pages
rstherthan powerful, which Is the char
ncterization one would apply as gen-,
cisl epithet to the book. Even In the
primness and the sordldness 6f sonic
f thestorles. with their racy folk tang,
their sense of the soil, there nrc humor
ous touches. In general the author
uses satire nnd Irony as his media of,
manner anu style, and his book bas
heen compared to the "Snoon 'River
Anthology" for its shrewdness, its hard'
fidelity ami us unsparing accents, nut
"My; Neighbors" Is not nn unblcasnnt
or disagreeable book, any more than
was Its predecessor, "My People." But
it is Impressively searching and Au
