No, he is not a realist. He does not cypher as the realists do, adding
and subtracting cause and effects to reach a hypothetical absolute.
Sherwood Anderson is a primitive, reflecting the immense movements of
the life about him.
Yes, he is cinematagraphic.
He is the American epic, just appeared.
[I read clear through your spasm about Sherwood Anderson and wondered
what was the matter with you until I came upon “He is cinematagraphic.”
Then I saw you knew what you were talking about. You’ve got them all in,

Æschylus, etc.—_jh._]
[_Windy McPherson’s Son_ will never be “living words” for any age
because it was done before Sherwood Anderson had learned to write. In
some of his short stories, done quite recently, he has achieved that
organization known as Form. But _Windy McPherson_ is as devoid of Form,
and consequently of Art, as any of Theodore Dreiser’s catalogues. It
stands as a faithful record of life, touched even with imagination, but
quite untouched by that quality which makes a good story literature. As
Rebecca West would say: it is simply another book coming out of America
teaching the great lesson of style.—_M. C. A._]

at times? Can you imagine that such music as Kreisler or Maud Powell
draw forth could come from a cat? No! But from a lamb. Ah yes!
