THE EAST HAMPTON STAB, EAST HAMPTON, N. Y „ NOVEMBER 28, 1966 n-ms'A

[in The Book BagThe East Hampton Free Library

w ill show three films at the pre­school story time this Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 1:30 p.m. in the Children's Room.

They are: “ Alphabet,” an animated romp through the 26 letters accom­panied by a lively jazz soundtrack; “Fire Flowers o f Yet Sing Low” — all in glorious Technicolor — about what happens when the fireworks made by the people of Hong Kong are destroyed and there are none for their New Year’s celebration; and “ Paneho,” also in color, the story o f a potter’s son who competes with all the best horsemen in Mexico to catch the bull with the crooked tail.

The program will last approximate­ly a half-hour.

Remember — the school-age story time on Saturdays has been moved up to 11:30 a.m. from 1:30. And the adult department is open at 11 a.m. every day but Sundays and holidays for all the morning shoppers. No more waiting until afternoon to come to the Library. a

One o f the better books to be published this season is “Tell me That You Love me, Junie Moon" by Marjorie Kellogg. It’s about three hospital patients who decide to live together because they have no place else to go after they are discharged.

Junie Moon had been disfigured by a deranged lover, Arthur suffers from a “progressive neurological disease” and is gradually becoming spastic, Warren’s legs were para­lyzed when he was shot in the spine by a friend while hunting rabbits. They make their home in a run­down cottage under an owl-inhabit­ed banyan tree where they proceed to triumph over the “outside" world.

Marjorie Kellogg has been com ­pared to Carson McCullers (“The Heart is a Lonely Hunter” ) and to Nathanael West (“Miss Lonely- hearts"). Like McCullers, she can write about the deformed without sentimentality or an excess of the grotesque and, like West, she com ­bines the cruel with the beautiful for a memorable story., J. S. F.

F-yvr** :A new and elegant addition to

my collection o f cook books is “The Complete Book o f Pasta” by Jack Denton Scott. It is an Italian cook­book, with photographs of Italy by Samuel Chamberlain, published by William A. Morrow. Assistant to the president o f that company is John Shinn of New York and Georgica Road, East Hampton.

Miss Narcisse Chamberlain, who is also with Morrow, has a house on Darby Lane. She is the daughter of Samuel Chamberlain, who has written and illustrated some 50 books. He lives in Marblehead, Mass., and with his wife, Narcissa, who collaborates on his books, has visit­ed in East Hampton. His photographs in this new book will bring back happy memories to anyone who has traveled in Italy.

The author, Jack Denton Scott, credits his Italian mother-in-law, an accomplished cook, with the greatest help with the book. He is a world- traveler, big game hunter, war cor­respondent, columnist, author of ten books, and lives in Washington, Conn. He began to cook at the age o f 14; has innumerable friends who are chefs and restaurateurs here and abroad.

I have never been especially inter­ested in pasta, having only a nod­ding acquaintance with spaghetti, vermicelli, noodles, macaroni, ravi­oli, lasagna, etc. and thinking o f it mostly as a great plateful o f hard- to-handle, fattening spaghetti. A c­cording to Mr. Scott, pasta is not a weight-builder, if eaten as it should be, in small portions, not loaded with oil or butter.

With proper accompaniments, he says, it makes a balanced meal; he points to our early Italian immigrants who depended upon pasta well wash­ed down with wine, w ho were “ vigorous and fun-loving.” This book should convert anyone to an interest in such food.

Pasta was NOT brought to Italy from China by Marco Polo, he says. Ravioli, Mr. Scott has discovered, was being eaten in Rom e in 1284, almost 20 years before Marco Polo’s famous travels.

One reason why a good many Americans do not take to spaghetti dishes is that we do not generally know how to handle it. Mr. Scott goes into the technique. “ You may as well pack up and go home” (in Italy), “ if you don’t hold your fork

right. And as for a spoon. . .On the page opposite the front­

ispiece is a quotation from Christo­pher Morley: “No man is lonely while eating spaghetti — it requires too much attention. . .

This book tells how to cook pasta so it doesn’t turn out a gooey mess. It is generally overcooked in this country. It is best of all made at home, he says. It is made o f semo­lina (the purest wheat) and water, shaped and dried; or with egg and oil — there are various kinds. He gives method and ingredients. I have eaten fresh, homemade noodles and they certainly are superior.

Someone said you could serve a different kind o f pasta every day in the year; this author says that is a great understatement. He gives drawings and description o f differ­ent kinds, with their use. He de­scribes accompaniments — cheeses, tomato, beef, sausages, veal, ham, mushrooms, spinach, etc.

He describes its use in soups; with seafood, meats, poultry and game, or vegetables. Particular pastas, such as the glamorous fettucine with truffles, are described. The book is full o f recipes, typical o f certain Italian cities and provinces; and at the end “recipes from friends, Romans and countrymen.”

Other countries have their special pasta dishes too: America, Bulgaria, China, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, India, Japan;

there are Jewish recipes, Korean, Persian, Polish, Spanish, and Turkish.

The book includes ways to use leftovers. It makes a pretty com ­plete, all-around cookbook.

Craig Claiborne of the New York Times, who is a pasta enthusiast, reviewed this book on Nov. 7. He said that only a decade or two ago most Americans knew only spaghetti, ravioli and macaroni; but now all that has changed, “ and one orders with some self-assurance things like tagliatelle, rigatone, tagliolini and ziti.” Well — maybe you and I do not; but we are learning.

Here is ancthtr Morrow book on the desk. It is a novel, “La Rifa,” (“ The Raffle" in English) subtitled by the publishers: “ A Peruvian La Dolce Vita,” by Katia Saks. The author is in private life Mrs. Ron­ald R. Fieve, whose husband, Dr. Fieve, is associated with the South­ampton Hospital as a psychiatrist. They own a Southampton house and live there summers and weekends.

Katia Saks is a very pretty young woman, born in Lima, Peru. She attended French and American schools there and attended Chatham College in Pittsburgh for a year.

Between the ages of 16 and 20 she wrote four novels, published in Peru, which received considerable critical attention. La Rifa is her first work written in English. She and Dr. Fieve have one child, a daughter.

She writes about a fashionable, indolent world where anything goes. A world of the so-called "Beautiful People,” charming and pleasure- seeking, whose behavior is anything but beautiful. They are bored with life and each other and proceed from bed to bed in a languid manner.

The New York Times reviewed “La Rifa" on Nov. 3. Quoting a bit from the review: “ In various ways, the influence o f the movie is appar­ent, in the spare, telegraphic im­pressionism of the descriptions, the absence of any real point o f view beyond the documentary, the use of certain visual symbols that would clearly be fetching on the screen. . . . ”

The narrator, Liliana, has a cousin

Maya who is mysterious and beauti­ful and, says the Times review, "comes to a sticky end.”

This is not my cup of tea. The author, evidently still very young, can write; a bit later she will prob­ably develop a sense of humor and do better
