How to Become a Liter
ary Light*
“It is very easy for the master minds
of the newspapers—dramatic, literary
and art writers— to give the impression
that there is profound knowledge lie
hind their vaporings. One of the best
tricks is to resort to names asd titles—
piling them on thick. For instance, let
us suppose a reviewer is speaking of a
novel. I,et me show, somewhat extrav
agantly, how he strings things out:
“ ‘Air. Kumpettv Klinketty’s novel,
which is after the manner of August
Strindberg’s “Confessions of a fool,”
at times suggests George Moore’s
“Memoirs of my dead life” and Max
Stirner’s The IJgo and his own.” In'all
Air. Humpetty Klinkettv seems to be a
composite of Lgifcadio Hearn, Alark
Twain, Benjamin J)e Jasseres, Maxim
Gorki, Victor Hugo, James Hunekcr,
Maurice Maeterlinck, George Gissing,
Walt Whitman, I'redrich Nietzsche,
Henry George, Richard Wagner, 1’etcr
Kropotkin, Klisee Recluse, Rerny ue
Gourmont, Iimma Goldman and An
thony Comstock. ’
This trick never fails. Resort to it
three or four times and you get a reputa
tion for being a critic of profound
knowledge and wide reading.”
| No, this is not overdrawn. Oho can
forget Blanche Sooeniaker Wrgstvff’s
review of Adolph Wolff's "Songs, Sighs
and Coises.” in the International, in
which she stated, i. e.: “With more
than the vigor of Whitman, he com
bines the starkness of Vietzsclie with
the tender sublimity of a Christ.”
