ODYSSEYOF A LIBERAL,

Memoirs

Freda Utley

MissUtley's Memoirs begin with herchildhood in London focusing on her parents and their friends and intimateswithin the Fabian Socialist Set including George Bernard Shaw, Beatrice andSidney Webb, Frank Harris, John Burns andT. W. H. Crossland. She describes her education at English and Swiss boarding schools and thecruelties she suffered for being "brainy." At London University shebecame one of the "Bohemian Left." Tutoring foreigners in Englishbrought her into contact with Bolsheviks whose views swayed her politicalbeliefs and led her to join the Socialist Party. As Secretary of the King'sCollege Socialist Society she met and began an enduring friendship withBertrand Russell. For a time she resided with his family as tutor to hischildren. While visiting Russia she met her husband Arcadi Berdischevsky. Aftertheir marriage they lived first in England then in Russia until he was arrestedand sent to a Siberian concentration camp. Her subsequent flight from Russiaand disillusionment with the U.S.S.R. deeply affect her activities and writing.

A most notable chapter is one entitled"Friends in the Village" in which Miss Utley describes her financialpoverty but social affluence living in Greenwich Village surrounded byfriends such as Dwight MacDonald, Norman Cousins, Max Eastman, Sydney Hook,Norman Thomas, Granville Hicks, and Isaac Don Levine. She poignantly describesher attempts to discover the fate of her husband while struggling to survive bywriting for a living. Throughout there are delightful anecdotes about VIPs ofthe social and political worlds whose company she has always kept, told withthe clarity and objectivityof a woman who understandspeople and politics. Chapter titles are intriguing hintsof the author's "odyssey." Some are:
