TOWERS. OF SILENCE,

1940's,

AUTHOR COMPARES WELL WITH E.M. FORSTER

by. Mary Kierans

With the publication: of THE: |
the
British author Paul Scott has
completed three of a. projected
four novels set in India in the
when, after several
centuries, British influence was
coming to a precipitated end.
leaving the Indians. alone with
their ancient, complex. still
unresolved pursuit of unity ‘and
nationhood.

For dramatic paradox and the

“clash of destinies on a personal

and world scale, this particular
period can hardly be equaled in
contemporary history, because it
encompassed World War I], the
Japanese invasion of Burma and

. threat to India, the rise of Gandhi

and: the young Nehru,’ the im-

prisonment of prominent Indians
_.for rebellion against the British

drawal. from~the Subcontinent;

and the Imminent tragic Par-

tition.

The web of events is, in fact.
not only so intricately interwoven
but also so extended in scope that
one can but marvel at the .con-
trolled manner in which Mr. Scott
handles the shifting focus of his
Wide-angle lens in the present
novel as well as in the 2
preceeding ones: THE JEWEL

IN THE CROWN and THE DAY 7

OF THE SCORPION,

fseemie strange in wow of his

engrossing material and. his
obvious. pifts as. an. acute ob-
server and a superb storyteller
that.:Paul Scott. although. the
recipient. of generous. . critical
acclaim, -has never. achieved
wide popular success. One reason
may be that today's» readers,
accustomed to the skip-and-jump
of TV -storsvtelling or the
telescoped shorthana of many
modern novels, lack the attention
span required for the enjoyment

“8

Oba (ype of fiction in which ex-
pository passages are -a
necessary part of. the story’s
fullest development. In any case,
Paul Scott still awaits
“discovery"', in spite of the fact
that he is often and favourably
compared to E. M. Forster whose
influences one can occasionally
catch in the younger man’s work.

What a rich and complex
background he paints for his
stories! The subtle lines of
connection. during centuries of
intricate . interplay, between
greed and generosity, open good
will and hidden hostility,
revealed equally by Indians and
British of all levels of life, form
the implicit backdrop for Scott's
novels, In‘all this, his greatest
concern is. with individual: lives

caught in the collective destiny of

a period of violent upheaval.

The action of these 3: novels
moves ina variety of ways, and is
projected ‘through a variety of
voices.
British. Sometimes the
characters speak for themselves :

There are certain . flaws. of

these massive novels, perhaps
unavoidable in works of such

and occasionally the weight of his
