BOOK REVIEWS

Trouble-Shooter: The Story of a Northwoods Prose

cutor, by Robert Traver. 1943. New York: Viking Press. Pp. 294. This is a vivid book. People are thumb

ing it casually at book counters, and then buying it

because they can't put it down. But for me it was more than that. The characters walked and talked and smelled of the woods of Lake Superior, and I was with them.

The locale is the most thrilling part of the world for

me, and I know it so intimately that the thinly disguised names and slightly changed incidents merely whetted

my memory. I had known the author in young man

hood before he had become a celebrity; I had known his father, who was somewhat less glamorous in real life than in the story; I had known his mother, an

intelligent and sweet woman whose gifts were not

enhanced by her marriage; I had admired the gay and confident spirit in which the son of that marriage had secured his education in spite of his father; and then I had seen that son walk out of a large Chicago law office and return to the North in response to his heritage from that same father.

There is some fine writing in this first book from a

vigorous pen. The courtroom scene, where the con

vict charged with murder handles his own defense, and wins a spectacular acquittal, would be almost too neat if it were imaginative. But it happened that way. Judge Beiden is almost too fine a character to be a country judge. But I can take you up there and let you see his fine gray beard and twinkling eyes, and you will never

forget him. And the Finns, and the Italians, and the other members of that post-frontier community are in life exactly like those deft characterizations.

Could I delete what I wished, I would strike out the

gutter vocabulary, and the cynicism. Neither is like the author. He isn't that sort of fellow, and I hope that in the future his publishers won't try to sell his books on that basis. He is too fine for that.
