out of psychopathy. There is
mystery in the delusion that
a man can save his father's
life by utilizing faith healing.
An incident in a mental in-
stitution adds to the variety
of the themes in "Rem-
brandt's Hat," the new Mala-
mud book published by
Farrar Straus and Giroux.
The title story is the third
in the book, and while sev-
eral of the other narratives
could have served as the
chief attraction, the author
used good judgment in as-
signing the superiority. In
"Rembrandt's Hat" we have
pathos, humor, a measure
of drama. There is a meas-
ure of artists' jealousies in
a tale in which a sculptor
and a teacher find their
friendship damaged because
a pun, when the artist's hat
was likened to Rembrandt's,
is interpreted as a slur. It
takes time and the misun-
derstanding is corrected. In
the process, there is the
mingling of human factors,
of suspicions, of regrets over
the temporary animosity.

human relationships that ele-

dramatic factors.

Especially timely is the
longest story in the book -
the 63-page "Man in the
Drawer." All of the miseries
that are encountered by

writers is embedded in this
plot. It is the story of an
American tourist in Russia
whose taxi driver emerges
as an author who is pre-
vented from publishing his
works by the restrictive
forces of the Soviet system.
It so happened that the
tourist, H. Harvitz, had al-
ready gotten into difficulty
with the Russian border of-
ficials because he carried
with him a poetry anthology
for high school students, en-
titled "Visible Secrets." He
was immediately suspected
of espionage and the books
were confiscated and were
kept, each volume separately
labeled, to be returned to
him when he was to leave
the USSR.

It was under such circum-
stances that Harvitz came in
contact with the Russian
author, also a Jew, who
wanted him to smuggle his
stories out of Russia and to
