“The Way of the Gods,” a new novel by John Luther Long, is laid in the beautiful land of “Madame Butterfly,” and in the heart of the Lady Hoshiko, Dream-of-a-Star. She is laved in the joy and sorrow and mystery of the East, where Mr. Long is more than anywhere else at home. Before her opens the possibility of a brief life of intense joy with a samurai pledged to the great red death for the emperor; this brief life, if she takes it, must be bought with an eternity of pain.
