Short story from collection entitled Jazz et vin de palme which has been banned in the Congo Emmanuel Boundzéki Dongala was born in 1941: his father was from the Congo, his mother from the Central African Republic. He spent his childhood and adolescence in the Congo; he then went abroad to study science, first to the USA then to Montpellier in France, where he obtained his doctorate. He is now Professor of Chemistry at the University of Brazzaville. Dongala's novel, Un fusil dans la main, un poème dans la poche (‘A gun in the hand, a poem in the pocket’), was published in 1973 (Albin Michel, Paris) and won the Ladislas-Dormandi prize. It satirised party members and the official ‘scientific Marxism’ ideology of the Congo. This was followed by a collection of short stories, Jazz et vin de palme (‘Jazz and palm wine’), published in 1982 (Hatier, Paris, Collection Monde Noir Poche). The stories draw on Dongala's experiences as a student in the USA and France, as well as providing further satirical comment on contemporary Congolese political moeurs Jazz et vin de palme has been formally banned by the official Censorship Commission in Brazzaville; it is unobtainable in bookshops there, and the local Cercle Culturel Français is forbidden to display it on its shelves. However, Dongala has himself not been subjected to any restrictive measures in his work, administrative responsibilities, or freedom of movement. The short story ‘Jazz et vin de palme’ has been translated and included in a collection of African short stories by various writers, published under the title Jazz and Palm Wine in 1981 (Longman, London, Drumbeat). But the translation of ‘L’Homme' (‘The Man’) printed below is, as far as we know, the first to be published.

Michael Arlen, although now largely forgotten, was one of the most successful novelists of the 1920s. Born Dikran Kouyoumdjian in Ruse, Bulgaria, to Armenian parents, Arlen’s family came to Britain in the early 1900s, and he attended Malvern College. He briefly studied at the University of Edinburgh before moving to London in the mid 1910s to embark on a career as a writer, initially working for A. R. Orage’s magazine, The New Age. His first publication was a collection of his pieces from the magazine, published as The London Venture in 1920. It was at this point that he began writing as Michael Arlen. Arlen produced a steady stream of short stories and novels throughout the early 1920s, all offering a similar whimsical, romantic glimpse of young London socialites, culminating in 1924 with the publication of The Green Hat. It was an immediate success (selling 150,000 copies that year alone), and went on to become one of the bestselling novels of the 1920s, enabling Arlen to fund Noel Coward’s play, The Vortex. Arlen and his novel quickly became short hand for a popular conception of the 1920s; both are referred to in a slew of novels from the time (Michaelis, for instance, in D. H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover, is thought to be based on him). Arlen moved to the USA in 1941 and continued to write until his death, experimenting with a range of genres, including science fiction, but he never again wrote anything as successful as The Green Hat.

In 1933, a twenty-five-year-old writer named Richard Sullivan articulated for himself the qualities a novel should have. In a “Record of Work Begun and Ideas for Stories,” 1932-1933, he wrote:Let all be adoration. 9-14-33a novel must be—?American—constantly; of course, naturally.Scope—heights to depths; and length also: a lifeReligious—naturally; how else?Bitter—like life; intermittently.When he wrote these words, Sullivan had not yet published a novel; the publication of his first short story in a national magazine was still three years away. He eventually published six of his novels and dozens of short stories while teaching English at the University of Notre Dame from 1936 to 1974. Few people have heard of him or his work, and, at first glance, his life looks commonplace, even prosaic—he never lived farther than one hundred miles from his birthplace and seldom traveled; he taught at the same place, largely the same courses, for thirty-eight years; he wrote and published for almost forty years, coming tantalizingly close to major success, which nonetheless always eluded him.

A short-story writer, novelist, poet and journalist, Bosman was born in Kuils River near Cape Town, but spent most of his life in the Transvaal, and it is the Transvaal milieu that features in almost all of his writings. He became known in the 1940s for his ‘Oom Schalk Lourens’ stories, and his use of this simple-seeming but wily narrator has ensured his place in South African literature as one of the country’s most enduring and best-loved storywriters. Schalk Lourens features in the short-story collections Mafeking Road (1947) and Unto Dust (1963), while Bosman’s prison memoir, Cold Stone Jug (1949), set the trend for this important genre in South Africa. Bosman was educated at Jeppe Boys’ High School, the University of the Witwatersrand and Normal College, where he qualified as a teacher. In January 1926 he received a posting to the Groot Marico in the remote Western Transvaal, as it was known then. Despite its short duration, this stay later inspired almost all of his 150 short stories. In July 1926, on vacation at the family home in Johannesburg, he became embroiled in a family quarrel and shot and killed his step-brother David Russell. He was tried and sentenced to death—a sentence that was later commuted to imprisonment for ten years with hard labour. He eventually served four years of this sentence and was released on parole in August 1930.

The article, dealing with the centenary anniversary of James Jones, presents her own subdivision of his creative work into periods, given that the author of the article was the first researcher in the former USSR and the USA defending her monographic work in 1981 on “Problems of War and Peace in James Jones’s creative work”. The aim of her article is to highlight the role of a short story genre in evolution of American writers, including James Jones, choosing their themes and further confirming the manner and peculiarities of their writing style in their novels. The main part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the short stories (which were only 13), published by James Jones in his collection entitled “The Ice-cream Headache” and Other Stories”. The researcher presented her interesting classification of them, showing their different grouping by themes, main characters with their psychology that affected their behavior and, naturally, the writer’s intention to show his attitude to the events described in each story.
