This website tends to like CM and his works, and most of what we publish here, accordingly, is admiring. However, it is salutary upon occasion to read other opinions; and by complete chance I discovered a 1957 review of A Challenge to Venus that illustrates with painful perfection the mentality described by Nigel Jackson in "The Anti-Morgan Animus". The review is by poet Jimmy Burns Singer and appeared, as part of an account of the month's new publications, in Encounter. Electronic reproduction is prohibited; but the website is open to all readers, and the link is here. Morganians my smile; but they will wince.
