I From his detached viewpoint he is an impassioned observer of Inuch beside politics. "We are living in a new society," he says, and hits out at what he believes to be wrong with it. In Eros and Lagos he shows how a matriarchy might Bave us; in Education he describes the unconventional places in which true éducation may be found. f*Which," asks Mr. Priestley in The Real Clean-Up, "is the greater danger in certain publications— sex or sadism?"

4 The 'wilderness' from which Mr. Priestley writes is the politicai |alderness of one who is neither íeft' nor 'right' but simply and |uperbly himself.

The Lion is wheezy tóday, displaying only worn teeth. Do we cherish sufficiently our other heral-dic symbol the Unicom, which to the author stands for the imaginative, creative, boldly inventive side of the national character?
Even at his most pugnacious, Mr. Priestley remains witty, warm and human. These provocative essays make a lasting impression, for he spotlights some aspects of our national life which we have perhaps uneasily noted, penetrates to the heart of them and illuminâtes them for us. Vissza
