Random Notes

Last September Titles: Charles Ryder’s Schooldays and Other Stories (Little, Brown, $12.95; paper, $5.95) is a collection of pieces by Evelyn Waugh, most of which have been out of print since the Thirties. . . . Patrick McCarthy’s Camus (Random House, $17.95) will probably be recognized as the authoritative biography of the French novelist, playwright, and philosopher.

Some October Titles: None of the Above: Why Presidents Pail and What Can Be Done about It (NAL, $14.95), by Robert Shogan, Washington correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, evaluates the Presidencies from Kennedy’s to Reagan’s and attributes their “chronic failures” to the weakening of political parties and the ascendancy of “personalized” leadership. . . , Peter N. Carroll’s It Seemed like Nothing Happened: The Tragedy and Promise of America in the 1970s (Holt, Rinehart, $19.95) is an attempt to do for the Seventies what Frederick Lewis Allen did for the Twenties.
