304. Hearken unto the Voice, by Franz Werfel (read 19 Jan 1947) On Jan 14, 1947, I said: Began reading Hearken Unto the Voice. It is a big book; starts quite auspiciously. I'll see how I like it." On Jan 16 I said of the book: "Well-written." On Jan 17 said: "Read tonight in Hearken, which, while not a book that absorbs me, certainly amazes me by the sweep of its drama." On Jan 19, this: "Finished tonight "hearken Unto the Voice" by Franz Werfel. One of the longest books I've read. Powerful and sweeping, though with dull parts at the forepart of the book, it is the story of Jeremiah the prophet." ( )
