Book Description
Excerpt from The Corradi, Vol. 29: April, 1925 Writing, I am told, is no longer an arduous task. One is no longer forced to implore the attendance of the muses, or to besiege Olympus with feverish prayers for inspiration. Mr. Cecil Roberts has displaced these Sis ters of the arts with a simple device, quite modern ln deed - the pulling of the string. Even a child can do it. To be more exact, the author-elect finds today a phrase, a word, or an embryonic idea, hanging, like a string as it were, from his brain box. Mr. Roberts was exact in stating the amount of string necessary. There must be three inches of string hanging from the brain box, you may begin to unwind it. You merely pull and it rushes out to you. You realize that in this bony box there is an entire ball of literary twine. Having unwound this, all that you have to do is to translate it on paper and you have a masterly novel such as, let us say Scissors or Sails of Sunset. This introduction may seem a bit ponderous but it is entirely necessary to acquaint the reader with the method employed in this discourse.
