Gene Baro, a young American writer himself, speaks of the social and spiritual implications of the South, and argues that the school of fiction associated with it is a truer picture of Southern society than most of us realise. Mr. Baro's poems and short stories have been published in several magazines, including Botteghe Oscure and New World Writing. He is curator of the Collection of Creative Writing at the University of Florida at Gainsville, and reviews regularly for the New York Herald Tribune.
Part 2
A play for radio by Robert Oxton Bolt'
Production by Donald McWhinnie
The author writes: ' The characters in my play learn, as we learn daily, that the atomic bomb may be dropped on them ... It preoccupies them, but not exclusively. They talk about it, of course, but nothing more; their action is all for themselves, and perhaps their behaviour in their smaller, personal situations indicates why their response to the greater and general situation is, like ourst so grotesquely inadequate. A civilisation is destroyed when the people who live in it no longer want to make the commitments, religious, political, and personal, which constitute it.
