NP very Misc on C.P Snow

[Mark Kohut]

Library in Nashville still cannot give away Snow's novels. And I never see them praised any more in 
journalistic histories of 20th Century English fiction...in fact, have seen them dissed in a couple......
Compared to Powell's series, say....
 
And to think I once wanted to read them.

Herbert Gold, who replaced Nabokov as English prof at Cornell, and himself a once-praised novelist--
although Roth once got, compassionately, to the botttom of one failed novel (in his opinion)---is the
major American blurb writer on the US edition of Snow's Strangers & Brothers, 1st in that series.
