“A series of short prose dramatic studies.... Of the six subjects treated, four are ... suggestive ... of a contempt for all the restrictions which prevent human society from relapsing into barbaric animalism....

“What Mr. Viereck may achieve in the future, if ever his rankly luxuriant boyish fancies acquire the ballast of solid learning and common sense, it would be hazardous to predict. At present, he is devoting precious gifts to futile and unworthy ends.”
