Books, Arts & Manners: Random Notes

More December Titles: Kit and Frederica Konolige’s title, The Power of Their Glory: America’s Ruling Class: The Episcopalians (Wyden, $12.95), just about says it, though it doesn’t suggest the Puerto Rican nationalist bombers with whom the Episcopal Church has allied itself. But maybe they aren’t covered in the text, either Vivian Gornick, whose previous book was The Romance of American Communism, has cut her cloth to fit this year’s fashion by publishing Essays in Feminism (Harper, $10), a collection of her recent pieces in The Village Voice. . . . Andrew Sarris, another Voice writer, is bringing out Politics and Cinema (Columbia, $12.95), which should harden his image as a revisionist critic.

Some January Titles: Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams (Harper, $10) is a collection of short stories, essays, and journal excerpts by Sylvia Plath. … Matthew Bruccoli has put together The Price Was High: The Last Uncollected Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald (Harcourt, $19.95) from fifty short stories Fitzgerald wrote for The Saturday Evening Post and other magazines. . . . There is also coming a new collection of short stories from Donald Barthelme—Great Days (Farrar, $8.95).
