of action the abstract drama of forces of destruction and decadence acting upon-and in turn, acted upon-a force of primitive animal energy; and the consequent destruction of both. The exact nature of this drama is neatly underscored by the author's selection of present day Greece as the main setting for this action. Further symbolic meaning might be derived from the choice of London as the sub-scene, as well as the choice of nationalities of its principle participants: Greek, American, and English.

The story briefly concerns a young Greek peasant a beautiful, natural animal who is first shaped in the cruelty and bestiality of war and starvation and poverty, then by three forces

of decadence: an American pseudointellectual, a bored upper moniedclass Englishwoman, and the overprotected daughter of a Greek family of immense wealth-who brings only tragedy to everything he touches, and more profoundly, only tragedy to himself-in spite of good intentions or his better self. This is the tragedy of a simple mortal become nemesis-but an unconscious, unavenging nemesis. that is blind.

Homosexuality is not a major theme here, but rather all of sexuality in its basic carnal sense is used here as the counterpoint of this compositionneither one nor the other exaltedand both handled with superb objectivity. P.B.
