Random Notes

Books: Scribner should have a big fall with the unpublished Hemingway, Islands in the Stream (October, $10). It’s about a painter in the Caribbean, c. 1935-45. . . . Hollywood in the old days is the theme of The Real Tinsel by Bernard Rosenberg and Harry Silverstein (Macmillan, October, $9.95). Title undoubtedly derives from Oscar Levant’s immortal “It’s only after you peel away the tinsel of Hollywood that you get to the real tinsel.”

Reader’s Digest editor Eugene Methvin worked ten years on The Riot Makers (Arlington House, October, $10) . . . . André Maurois’ Memoirs due next month (Harper, $10). . . . Douglas Cater’s first novel is a roman à clef about Washington, Dana (McGraw-Hill, August, $6.95). . . . Roger L. Ransom and NR reviewer William Breit co-author The Academic Scribblers: American Economics in Collision (Holt, January).
