Previously in this blog I mentioned the novel “The Chronicles of Manuel Alanus” written by Leopold Ernest Wyneken. Last week I happened across an old review of this book that appeared in the San Francisco Sunday Call on February 14, 1909 (second column in the lower half of the page). After reading the review I get the impression that the author didn’t like the book, but you can see for yourself by clicking on the scan below.
Oh well, there’s no accounting for taste.
