Footnotes
[1] “James Branch Cabell is making a clean getaway with Jurgen,
quite the naughtiest book since George Moore began ogling
maidservants in Mayo. How come? Dreiser had the law hot after
him for The Genius and Hager Revelly came close to landing
Daniel Carson Goodman in Leavenworth, yet these volumes are
innocent compared with Jurgen, which deftly and knowingly treats
in thinly veiled episodes of all the perversities, abnormalities and
damn-foolishness of sex. There is an undercurrent of extreme
sensuality throughout the book, and once the trick of transposing
the key is mastered one can dip into this tepid stream on every
page. Cabell has cleansed his bosom of much perilous stuff—a
little too much, in fact, for Jurgen grows tiresome toward the end
—but he has said everything about the mechanics of passion and
said it prettily. He has a gift of dulcet English prose, but I like
better the men who say things straight out and use gruff Anglo-
Saxon monosyllables for the big facts of nature that we are
supposed to ignore.
“It is curious how the non-reading public discovered Jurgen. A few
days after it appeared on the newsstands a male vampire of the
films who once bought Stevenson’s Underwoods in the belief that
it was a book of verses hymning a typewriter, began saying up
and down Broadway: ‘Say, kid, get a book called Jurgen. It gets
away with murder.’
“This sold the first edition quickly. How do they discover these
things?”
Walter J. Kingsley.
