“Whose curious and original genius,” says the _Spectator_, “has
already provoked conflicting opinions.”
“A supremely important writer.”--REBECCA WEST in _The New
Statesman_.
“How much more amusing is ‘Jacob’s Room’ than the competent,
true-to-type novel.”--_The Observer._
“Read the book for yourself.... I find myself repeating the words
of M. Bergeret: ‘Si pourtant c’était un chef-d’œuvre?’”--FORREST
REID in _The Nation_.

absolute transcript of life.”--_John o’ London’s Weekly._

its faults this is certainly one of the most impressive stories of
modern times.”
