The Youngest World
By ROBERT DUNN
Dr. Frederic Taber Cooper, the well-known reviewer for The Bookman, who read the advance sheets of Mr. Dunn’s remarkable story of Alaska, “The Youngest World,” says: “Plenty of authors have given us the physical suffering of the far north: the dropping away of the outer veneer of civilized man and the reappearance of the human animal, the brutishness and degradation brought about by cold and darkness and hunger. Mr. Dunn’s book stands in a different class: there is no mistaking its absolute first-hand reflection of life—the life of strange, motley hordes of drifting outcasts and adventurers. But unlike the Jack London school, he never forgets that man is a little lower than the angels, as well as a little higher than the beasts; he never loses sight of the innate greatness of humanity, the greater spiritual as well as physical heights to which he may aspire.... The book is good, big, significant, coming as it does in a season when the absolute dearth of vital fiction is painfully apparent.”
