PAINTING AND REALITY,
by Etienne Gilson (Pantheon,
$7.50). (Reviewed by Flannery
O’Connor)
Tihs is an exhaustive exposi
tion of the kind of reality proper
to paintings and of the relation
of painting to the other arts and
to the natural order. M. Gilson
begins by describing the physi
cal nature of paintings and goes
on to the more abstract con
siderations only after this thor
ough groundwork has been con
structed. His touchstones are the
writings of the great painters
themselves, da Vinci, Constable,
Klee, but most notably Delar-
croix whose journals he obvi
ously admires considerably.
The most valuable part of the
book is the discussion of modern
painting contained in the last
two chapters. The essence of the
art of painting is not imitation
but the creative addition of arti
facts to nature. M. Gilson be
lieves that the evolution of
modern painting has been a pro
cess of freezing it from the bur
den of imitation which was laid
on it in the Renaissance. In his
words: “Reduced to its simplest
expression, the function of
modern art has been to restore
painting to its primitive and
true function, which is to con
tinue through man the creative
activity of nature. In so doing,
modern painting has destroyed
nothing and condemned nothing
that belongs in any one of the
legitimate activities of man; it
has simply regained the clear
awareness of its own nature and
recovered its own place among
the creative activities of man.”
There are 117 illustrations in
half-tone plates and an appendix
containing selections from the
writings of Reynolds, Delacroix,
Gill and Ozenfant.
THE NUN'S ANSWER, by a
Carmelite Nun (Regnery, $3.50).
STARS OF COMFORT, by
Father Vincent McNabb, O. P.
(Regnery, $3.50).
The young British Carmelite,
whose previous book, Catch Us
Those Liille Foxes, appeared
about two years ago, has given us
another glimpse behind the
grille of her Carmel, showing
again (as Sister Francis of the
Poor Clares also did in her A
Right to Be Merry) that the
cloistered religious life brings
great joy and peace to those who
are called to it. This book is
obviously meant as a reply to
The Nun's Story, the much pub
licized account of a woman who
tried convent life and left it.
This young nun, who writes
anonymously, tells of her first
five years in the convent which
she entered in October 1951. She
describes first the life and work
of the extern Sisters, who share
all the spiritual privileges of the
enclosed nuns, while living in
the unenclosed part of the build
ing, acting as sacristans, doing
the shopping and other errands
for the cloistered nuns. The
author spent her first few
months in their company, be
fore deciding definitely that her
vocation was in the cloister. She
introduces the reader to several
of these Sisters, each of whom
is an interesting personality, as
well as to the Reverend Mother
who is a wise and holy superior
after the usual Carmelite tradi
tion. The narrative ends with
the young nun’s final profession
in November, 1956.
Like The Nun's Answer, Stars
of Comforf is a small book con
taining a wealth of wisdom. It
was compiled by one of the late
Father McNabb’s retreatants
from her retreat notes. “When I
first asked Father Vincent if he
would allow the notes to be pub
lished,” she says, “he was silent
for a moment; then he bowed
his head, murmuring, ‘If you
think they would help souls,
dear child.’ ” The beloved
Dominican’s conferences are
brief and informal, and will be
priceless to busy people, as the
following, example eloquently
attests: “Our problem in life is
to supernaturalize the natural
things. There is no supernatural
way of washing the floor. There
is a divine way. We don’t super
naturalize our actions,, but our
intentions... Our prayers should
circle round , our duties. If they
do, our distractions will become
the every substance of our pray
er make that into a kind of sin.
It is terrible to read books that
is not good psychology... If you
are working for a private in
dividual, or for the Government,
or for a husband, I hope that
work is introduced into your
prayers... That is the material
of our perfection... Our prayer,
then, may well consist, in its
substance, in a petition for grace
to do God’s will in all the duties
of our life. . . ” How perfectly
simple he makes it! And how
complex most of us try, on the
contrary, to make it!
WORLD CRISIS AND THE
CATHOLIC, a Symposium,
(Sheed & Ward, $3.00).
(Reviewed by Elizabeth Hester)
In a preface written by a man
identified only as Vittorino Ver
onese, we are told that the se
lections in this book were pub
lished on the. occasion of the
Second World Congress of the
Lay Apostolate. But, enigmatic
ally, at no place in the book does
it say where the Congress met,
or when, or how long it lasted,
or how the material covered was
presented. Presumably, the
Congress convened in Rome
sometime during 1957 and last
ed a week, but all this must be
arrived at by inference only and
is a sharp irritant with which
to begin a book.
The initial flaw got over, the
essays which follow are in many
instances a delight or a revela
tion. There are eighteen articles,
plus one poem by Gertrud Von
Le Fort, and an interview with
Konrad Adenauer. Writers rep
resent over a dozen nations, tak
ing in the Occident, the orient,
and both hemispheres. At a
time when we in the United
States are worrying about the
“other - directed organization
man,” it is something of a shock
to discover a gentleman from
Brazil in huge distress over the
rampant evil of “individual
ism.” Dr. Marge Klompe, one
time Netherlands delegate to the
United Nations, is the author of
a vivid essay warning against
the danger of the West allowing
its aids to the Asian and African
worlds to degenerate into me
chanical handouts as opposed to
personal Christian gestures.
From an Italian mathematician,
Francesco Severi, comes a beau
tifully written synthesis of in
tellectual progression from 18th
century determinism (used
sweepingly against Catholic as
sertion of man’s free jvill) to
today’s realization that determ
inism, as such, was an ignorant
presumption.
The title of this book seems to
be something of a misnomer as
many of the essays included
have no immediately discern
ible relativity to a crisis. An
article on the revival of art in
European churches, for exam
ple, concerns simply a current
reaction to the accumulated bad
art of recent generations. Also,
it is difficult to see what an
American movie star’s justifica
tion of playing the life story of
Helen Morgan, a singing dip
somaniac of the thirties, has to
do with a world crisis.
THE RESTLESS CHRISTIAN,
by Kilian McDonnell, O.S.B.
(Sheed and Ward, $3.00).
(Reviewed by Cecilia L. Hines)
A few years ago, in a talk to
students, later published in the
Catholic press, the Reverend
Kilian McDonnell brought out
forcibly that the laity get bogged
down when they read books of
pious devotion written by the
religious for the religious. Fol
lowing as it did, Vincent Giese’s
The Apostolic Itch, the first book
written by a layman for the lay
man who is seeking his spiritual
growth through the lay aposto
late, Father McDonnell’s state
ment awakened among thinking
Catholics a vital spark of inter
est in the realization of the
spiritual potential in everyday
living, as a means of developing
themselves as true Christians.
Since then several other
writers, both priests and lay
men, have contributed to this
interesting field, but they are
not yet well known and their
books have to be diligently
sought out. The Restless Chris
tian is one of these books. Draw
ing on his background as a
parish priest, and as a teacher
of theology to collect students,
the Benedictine monk author
generously shares his practical
knowledge of the needs, trials
and tensions of present-day
Catholic life, with the lay
man who is striving to develop
his spirituality by other than
emotionally sentimental values.
The book is made up of selec
tions from a monthly column in
The Sign; these are concerned
with God, His word, His world,
His work, and man. The chapter
headings are pungent and arres
ting; the contents both stimula
ting and startling. Some of the
captions are: Truth or Conse
quences; What Happened to the
Angels; The Almost Catholic;
Postive Catholicism; The Lay
man and Reverent Passivity.
They open up the reality of holi
ness to anyone who is even the
slightest bit interested in the
state of his soul, present as well
as future. Instead of an index,
the last six pages contain a fine
list of suggested readings, divi
ded into informative categories;

THE TRANSGRESSOR, by
Julian Greene (Pantheon, $3.50).
(Reviewed by Flannery
O’Connor)
Spokesmen for the deliver-us-
from-gloom school of Catholic
criticism have found that this
novel commits the unpardon
able sin: it is depressing. It pre
sents the situation of a young
girl, innocent and lacking all
spiritual resources, who con
ceives a passion for a man who
not only cannot love her but
who is, in addition, thoroughly
evil. It proceeds to detail her
gradual realization of evil until
the point when, penetrated by
what remains a purely mental
knowledge of it, she kills her
self. She is surrounded through
out by a cast of characters of
whom the best lack power to
help her and the worst contrive
to force her situation.
Some slight criticism can be
made of the book on literary
grounds. The reader is asked to
believe in a passion which,
while possible, is not adequate
ly dramatized in its beginnings.
We are told, not shown, that in
a matter of minutes such a love
is conceived by the girl. In the
rest of the novel we are most
adequately shown the results of
it but the book would have pro
ceeded on a less shakey foun
dation had the scene in which
the girl’s infatuation began been
presented. However, Mr. Green
is such an excellent writer that
he manages to overcome most of
the problems presented by his
situation. The novel is written
with great deftness and delicacy
and with a moral awareness that
comes only with long contem
plation on the nature of charity.
It presents the kind of situation
which emphasizes the mystery
of evil in its starkest aspects and
it offers no solutions by the
author in the name of God; nor
does it offer the solutions of
faith' for thds<rwho do'hot be
lieve. It is completely lacking
in false piety and is in every
sense a book which has derived
from the best type of Catholic
imagination.

CHIPPEWA INDIANS OF
YESTERDAY AND TODAY, by
Sister M. Carolissa Levi, F.S.P.A.
(Pageant Press, $5.00).
(Reviewed by Leo J. Zuber)
The Chippewa were one of
the largest Indian groups in
what is now the United States,
though their range was not
limited thereto. They were local
ized in the Great Lakes area and
neighboring portions of the
Great Plains. Sister M. Carolissa,
of the community of Franciscan
Sisters of Perpetual Adoration,
has been exposed to the present
generations of these Indians,
particularly those in northern
Wisconsin. Working with them
motivated her to study them as
well as teach them. Out of her
not inconsiderable studies, in
volving much research of good
order, has come this book. It is
fact-filled; it can be read
through or it can be used as a
reference, the table of contents
and the index being in turn
quite orderly and complete.
The several natural divisions
of the book cover broad topics
of the Chippewa as their histori
cal religious background, their
reservation system, economic life
and problems, education and
health. Detailed attention is
given to tribal customs, a read
ing of which makes one feel the
Chippewa (or any Indian tribe
for that matter) must of sheer
necessity be descended from
Levi. A concluding chapter deals
with Chippewa Indian service in
white men’s wars involving the
United States.
Thb volume is devoted almost
in its entirety to the Chippewa
in Wisconsin. The limitation, not
at all hinted at in the title, be
comes readily apparent. Even
so, it is a matter of some regret
that still other source material
pertinant to the Winconsin
Chippewa as well as to the Great
Lakes Chippewa generally are
not cited, at least as having been
examined, among the otherwise
extensive footnotes. The Ani-
shinabe Enamiad, a periodical
(1896-1911), and other Indian
language publications issued by
the Holy Childhood School press
at Harbor Springs, Michigan, en
joyed wide distrubution among
the Chippewa in the entire Great
Lakes country on either side of
the United States-Canadian line.
The periodical cited, which
comes out The Praying Indian in
English, carried considerable
notice of Indian matters from
the entire area of its distribu
tion.
No doubt, a geographic elabor
ation on research and the cover
age of the book would have re

FIFTY - TWO FRIDAYS:
MEATLESS MENUS AND RE
CIPES, by Ethel Keating (Bruce
$3.95).
More than sixty tasty (and
meatless) meals are described
in this new cookbook, written
by a graduate home economist
and former head of the dietary
staff of Milwaukee County Gen
eral Hospital. During an extend
ed vacation to South America
with her husband, Mrs. Keating
enrolled at the Cordon Bleu
School of Cookery in Rio de Ja
neiro to learn the fine art of
international cooking.
Included in her book are
thirty-two dinners for the fam
ily and twenty for special oc
casion, plus ten luncheons adap
table to many occasions. Com
plete menus are given, from the
before dinner drink to the des
sert. The recipes are always
balanced but neither too famil
iar nor too elaborate for the av
erage American kitchen.
Amateur cooks will appreci
ate the author’s clear, simple
directions, while the more ex
perienced will enjoy the subtle
touches of flavor so deftly add
ed. Family dinners are planned
for four servings; special oc
casion dinners and luncheons,
for eight. Fish, if properly pre
pared, has a novel and delicate
flavor, Mrs. Keating shows, and
with imagination and a little ef
fort its inherent tastiness can
be brought out.
This attractive book is hard
bound with a colorful washable
cover, suitable for use in the
kitchen.
THE LIFE OF SAINT TE
RESA, translated by J. M. Co
hen (Penguin, 85c).
(Reviewed by Leo J. Zuber)
The Spanish mystic, St. Te
resa, is sometimes contrasted
with her French namesake, St.
Therese, the Little Flower, by
the device of referring to the
former as the Eagle and to the
latter as the Dove. The Spanish
saint’s writings are voluminous;
she wrote by the yard. Her
writings, long-established liter
ary classics, are not exactly
easily read nor readily under
stood either in the original or
in translation. The Cohen trans
lation of St. Teresa’s autobi
ography puts her work into
manageable English. The trans
lator’s introduction is generally
sympathetic to the author and
to her life as a religious.
Teresa appears to us today as
the type of nun who could show
the parochial school boys how
to belt out a home run over the
roof of the Baptist church in
the next block, who could man
age the mundane and not so
mundane affairs of a convent
and school, and through it all
develop and maintain deep,
even mystical, religious experi
ences. Her life was endowed in
this latter respect that she came
to know and to expect the actual
physical presence of Christ al
most as a walking and talking
companion. Imagine her feelings
when her confessor, not tho
roughly appreciating nor under
standing all the circumstances,
ordered her “always to make
the sign of the cross when I had
a vision, and to snap my fingers
at it, in the firm conviction that
this (the vision) was the devil’s
work.” But, in obedience, she
snapped her fingers; however,
she writes, “I did not snap my
fingers very often . . .”
The value of St. Teresa’s life
is that it is written-in-haste in
style, it is as if she were speak
ing rapidly and more or less at
random telling her life story.
We can readily see ourselves
portrayed in some, even though
not all, of her experiences.
Traffic being what it is in these
days, we can appreciate her sit
uation when she was about her
work in the establishment of
convents in Spain and the coach
in which she was riding over
turned in a ditch. “Lord,” she
prayed. (?) “if this is the way
You treat Your friends, no won
der You have so few!”
Of such is the matter of saint
hood, the neading of human
clay.
To be a diplomat a man must
have sufficient command of lan
guage to be able to say “yes”
and “no” at the right time.
