Recent Fiction

LAND OF PROMISE--Leo Lania--Macmillan ($2.50). Unhysterical story of Moses Mendel, a Ukrainian Jew, who fled from Russian pogromists to refuge in Germany. Lania, an exile from the Reich who sticks close to the news, includes in his novel a fictionized account of how Hugo Stinnes cornered industrial Germany during the inflation.

JOSHUA TODD--Fulton Oursler--Farrar & Rinehart ($2.50). Bulky, somewhat raffish story of a young man against whom fate loaded the dice.

MR. FINCHLEY'S HOLIDAY--Victor Canning--Reynal & Hitchcock ($2.50). A British Caspar Milquetoast offers to watch a stranger's expensive automobile. When he falls asleep in the back, he is stolen with the car. His subsequent adventures remind readers of J. B. Priestley's hearty-humorous The Good Companions.
