"Criteria of Rationality Not Precise"
by Henry Butler, Indianapolis, IN
October 2, 1961
"Malamud's novel about Cascadia (transparent disguise for Oregon?) shows college faculty folks in emotional and political struggles that often seem as irrational as doing things on 'The Hill.' Malamud's hero, Seymour Levin, a bearded New Yorker with an alcoholic past, arrives as English instructor at Cascadia."
