Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fear of Living: La Peur De Vivre M. Henry Bordeaux's latest novel, "The Fear of Living," appeared several months ago, at a season when the "summer novel" was flourishing. That season belongs to the big purveyors of commercial literature and is not the time at which to speak of a real writer. I have, therefore, purposely postponed until to-day my few words about this book, which both public and press have welcomed warmly, but without sufficiently marking its true place. It is one of the best novels that has appeared for a long time. It contrasts, by its vivid originality, with everything that the storytellers of to-day give us. It is a new and daring departure. It is that, primarily, through the philosophy of life which the author has expressed in it. The "fear of living" is a new and deep-seated evil among us. We value our peace above everything, we wish to keep it at all hazards, however dearly we must pay for it.
