The signature, itself, is uncovered. "These seven critical essays, each on a contemporary novelist, are disparate in content, but all are concerned with the problem of evil and inhumanity and with the paradoxes of human existence. Each essay discusses a different author, but this independence of subject is resolved into a central theme through the interpretive approach followed by the seven critics. Each of the contributors presents his subject against the background of the current disillusionment and frustration of our age. Underlying each essay are undertones of the 'absurdity' of life today for those who consider it thoughtfully, and the contrast between what men would like reality to be and what they actually find."
