Young Calls Fiction Inaccurate
By ELLEN BRADLEY
'Modern fiction does not give'
people abroad an accurate picture
of life in America, Philip Young,'
professor of American Literature,'
said last night.
In his talk, "American litera
ture and American Life," Young
discussed why he believes that
the notion that serious modern
American literature gives people
abroad a true picture of us is
"baloney."
The talk was sponsored by
Sigma Tau Delta, national English
honorary society.
"SEROUS LITERATURE is
never reflection of life," he said.
"Literature is a refraction of life.
Art is not life, but an ordering
and an intensification of it."
It would drive us mad to read
life as it really is, he explained.
Life is frequently boring, and
