McKIBBON To read- -- THE THIRTEENTH APOSTLE by Eugene Vale is an intense,. humbling yet ex- hilarating experience. It is a pow- erful novel written with skill and art. I know nothing of the writer ----I assume he is an American; and I have not yet discovered whether other writing of his has been pub- lished or whether this is the first book he has had printed. The title, which intrigued me, and the jacket design ,led me to select the book, The jacket, colour- ed the riven green of the jungle. shows two tiny men on burros ad- vancing through thick vegetation towards the shining snowy peak of a distant mountain. One is clad in black, one in white. The artist has portrayed well the lure of the mountain peak, There are only four chapters in this rather lengthy book, all titled with Spanish- sounding place names. The tale begins in the consulate of a tiny Central American port. Puerto Carribas, Donald Webb, the consul has become concerned over the fate of an American painter, Franz Crisnlan by name. They have only met briefly but the im- pact of the contact was etched deeply in his memory, H e decides to investigate and lives a lifetime of retrospect and spiritual xper-, lence in the process. He accepts the offer of an itinerant priest as guide. Padre Paola is a simple soul imbued with faith firmer than all reason. They irritate and yet in- terest each other because the whole basis of their separate lives is di- ametrically opposed, Painstakingly they follow Crispian's trail togeth, cr. This seemingly insignificant man had taught them both some- thing and they were convinced that he had still more to contribute. At Crispian's urgent request Webb had sent canvas and paints inland, Eventually they discover, that Crispian had mentally con- ceived an unbelievably compre- hensive painting of the Crucifixion of Christ. From his written notes they perceive unfolded there the hopes, fears and differing beliefs of humanity. When it is located a great portion of the central panel is torn out. Mona Barrie, the only person who ever had loved ,Crisz plan, says be was dissatisfied with it and had moved farther up the mountain for contemplation and perfection of his masterpiece. Webb and Padre Paolo conquer El Soleclaci, the mountain, and they find the answer to the riddle of Crispian's disappearance. On the perilous ascent Webb faces himself --he realizes what he was and what he had become. Mr, Vale gives us a very revealing picture of the pragmatic idealists that the colleges developed between the two world wars -Webb was one of them, Few characters people the pages hut all are limned with startling' clarity. Besides the three we have already met there is a brutal American mining engineer, whose daughter Mona I have airady mentioned. Another most interesting character is Don Hernandez, a Spanish pro- fessor of comparative religions, who also lives in this co,untry, hay- — $14,95 $10.95 $18.95 Aeropack $35.00 Weekend $25.00 Train Case $22.50 10,1111 INN MK 11111 INN MN IN MN MM MN ME OD NEWS I FROM; THE CAR KING OF HURON COUNTY There's STILL time to buy .a 1960 Vauxhall, complete with heater, spare, licence, new car warranty, and pay LESS THAN WHOLESALE!
