A Tenured ProfessorGalbraith, John Kenneth

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[Mr. Galbraith's] propositions are, I think, true...The story is dandy, or dandy enough. What is surprising about the book is that...in the stuffiest possible way, Mr. Galbraith tells us things we already know....There are occasional traces of aristocratic disdain....[He] is uneasily ribald, the rump rampant being his chief literary enthusiasm....[Moreover] the language of the book is a minor irritant."
New York Times Book Review, April 21, 1968
Review:"[Galbraith] is not, he says, scared of telling the truth about the real world and, consequently, disguising it all as fiction....The fact is that his art functions well if not greatly....One of the attrations of 'The Triumph' is its plushy urbanity. People don't write like that any more....Fables don't have to be all that subtle, and the Galbraith fable is in excellent company in the simplicity of its lines and the obviousness of its moral....None of [the characters] engages in love or hate or sympathy, as in a real novel....I prefer to see [this] as the sort of thing a man of exceptional literary talent, not to mention cerebral power and personal sophistication might throw off light-heartedly as a relief from what he must consider more important matters."
Arthur M. Schlesinger
