Readers of the poetry and fiction of Delmore Schwartz (191366) are familiar with his penetrating psychology and his philosophical concerns, his ability to dramatize ideas and to turn his personal experiencesas immigrant son, New York Jewish intellectual and Wunderkindinto a symbol for the disorders and conflicts of modern life. But Schwartz had another sidethe comic. The Ego Is Always at the Wheel, a collection of nineteen essays published now as a New Directions Paperbook, presents the poet as a humorist of no mean accomplishment. In this gathering of Schwartzs bagatelles, he romps through such topics as the taking of baths and the meaning of existentialism, the abominations of the telephone, fear of having ones picture taken, the importance of owning an automobile, theories of Hamlets behavior and Don Giovannis promiscuity, the difficulties of divorce, and more. His An Authors BrotherinLaw and Memories of a Metropolitan Child, Memoirs of a Giant Fan provide endearing selfportraits of the young Delmore. And The Farmer Takes His Time is an hilarious inquiry into a N.Y. Times news item about a Wisconsin widower who advertises for a wife.
