It would be hard to find a nicer copy of this 131 -page Partisan Review for Fall , 1956 . A very good copy. Outstanding number highlights include: Robert Lowell's 30 -page "91 Revere Street." This is noted here as "Autobiographical Narrative." Walker Percy's "The Man on the Train." This is an early and notable essay by Percy , here first printed , and he would later collect this essay, one of his own stated favorites, in "The Message in a Bottle" almost 20 years later (1975). Saul Bellow's essay "On [the Passing of] Isaac Rosenfeld ." Rosenfeld was a close friend to Bellow in the 1930s. James Baldwin's "[ William ] Faulkner and Desegregation ." This is an item of some interest on Faulkner's pronouncement that American blacks, when it comes to civil rights, should "slow down" and that "its not wise to keep [the] emotional people [of the south] off balance." Baldwin, of course, takes him apart for these statements. New poems by John Berryman (also on the passing of Isaac Rosenfeld ) and Marianne Moore , Elizabeth Jennings , etc. Frank Budgen's 14 -page essay on his friend James Joyce , "Further Recollections of James Joyce ." Horace Gregory reviews new works of poetry including Ezra Pound's new Cantos , Richard Wilbur's third book, "Things of This World," John Ashbery's early volume in the Yale Younger Poets Series, "Some Trees"
