THE DARLING BUDS OF MAY, by H. E. Bates, Signet. THE MACKEREL PLAZA, by Peter de Vries, Signet.
To write a funny story was once a fairly simple task, and to praise one even simpler. But then a reviewer was not confronted with books like "The Darling Buds of May" or "The Mackerel Plaza." Since light literature has been analyzed by sociologists and psychologists, the skilled man of letters seizes a wide and profitable response by setting his story in an area of social tension or cultural ferment, or both.
The game was played by Dickens and Trolope and Mrs. Humphrey Ward, to be sure; but the modern players seem to be endowed with comparatively minor talents and a very different, almost desperate giety. Here are two excellent and attractive specimens.
H. E. Bates tells how a proper young Englishman, a clerk in the Office of Inland Revenue, is stripped of respectability, awakened to ardent appetites, and fixed in relaxed and rural security. Having been seduced by a pretty olive-skinned girl, he gradually adopts her family's career of seasonal fruitpicking, a line of work never pestered by the Office of Inland Revenue, and their preference for a steady consumption of highly flavored food in enormous quantities and varied strong liquors.
The girl's father sells scrap-iron, lumber, bricks and junk, often at a profit of 600 per cent; he obtains his wares by buying and demolishing the now useless manor-houses of the county families. The gentry themselves appear only as a set of withered relics, impoverished by high taxes and inflation and helpless to live in any decent fashion without the trained servants they can no longer afford. Soon they will have vanished, their houses will have been cleared from the countryside, and the smiling land will be owned and enjoyed by a new, deft and uninhibited race of Englishmen.
Peter de Vries is a more complicated figure. He writes about and for the small, very influential group of people who work in New York on Madison Avenue and commute to southwestern Connecticut: the junior executives in publishing, advertising, public relations, and the like.
To comprehend this story fully, within its skillful exaggerations and simplifications, one must know something about the dispossession of the British middle-classes by death duties, income taxes, socialized medicine, and subsidized education since World War II. Mr. Bates writes with economy and a dry wit.
They are intelligent, well-educated, aware, and insecure. They talk far too well and too much to suspect, as a group, that a command of the fashionable lingo in economics, psychology, and literary criticism may not be sufficient equipment for the analysis of society and the revision of theology. But the more intelligent the man, the more uneasy he becomes, at times. De Vries has a good deal of fun with them. His hero, the Rev. Mr. Andrew Mackerel of the People's Liberal Church, of Avalon (Conn.), a widower, has advanced views on the remorseless functioning of social forces; these are based on a dubious mixture of the views of Marx and Freud, not entirely without parallel in current controversy.
When his very secular and good-humored approach to experience and his strong sexual drive have embroiled him with both the Ladies Auxiliary of his church and the local Chamber of Commerce, he attempts to explain his situation by his own theories, and conjures up such fantastic gloom that he lands (temporarily) in a Rest Home for Disturbed Persons. There are two handsome heroines, described in equally fond detail.

THE FIRST CHRISTIAN, A Study of St. Paul and Christian Origins, by A. Powell Davies, Mentor, 50 cents.
This brilliant biography of St. Paul casts new light on this man's crucial role in establishing the Christian faith. As one scholar has written, "His soul was torn between Palestinian Pharisaism...and Jewish Hellenism—and in a certain measure also pagan Hellenism" but in any case it was Paul who was "the cause of the complete overthrow of historic Judaism" in the Gentile world of the first century.
Paul thought he was preaching the culmination of Judaism, but it was in fact a new departure in religion. "Judaic in inspiration and to a great extent in composition, it was nevertheless Mediterranean rather than Palestinian and its concept of the Christ as the Son of God was Greek," the author sums up.
The UNDISCOVERED SELF by Carl Gustav Jung. Mentor, 50 cents.
One should probably stand hat in hand when a distinguished psychiatrist such as C. G. Jung speaks, but Dr. Jung's style raises nothing but irritation. Why must psychiatrists say "depotentiated" rather than "weak" or "chiliastic" rather than "thousand-year"?
Furthermore, Dr. Jung offers no really blinding insight into contemporary world affairs. "It is, unfortunately, only too clear that if the individual is not truly regenerated in spirit, society cannot be either, for society is the sum total of individuals in need of redemption," he says.
Which is hardly a revelation, even from a high priest of the religion of psychiatry. Dr. Jung broke with Sigmund Freud because of the former's insistence on the religious instinct in man. This viewpoint is maintained in this book, but opens up no new vistas of self-knowledge.
