"Jo Sinclair had read about the Harper Prize Novel Contest in the book supplement of a newspaper, and decided to send her manuscript, hoping, as she says, only for publication without ever dreaming of the possibility of getting the price itself. When she received a letter saying the novel had been accepted for publication, she felt that she had at last achieved the goal she had been working toward for ten years.
"She was born only a few years after her immigrant parents arrived here from Europe. Soon after, the family moved (from Brooklyn) to Cleveland. A philanthropist in the city where she lives had done much to help young artists and a friend suggested that Miss Sinclair be given? 10 a week
the handles were carved hv form of animal beads and
to belong to a class of bone . menta often found in Europe in the upper paleolithic and saeso lithic layers.
for a year to enable her to write a novel. She contributed |6 of this to her family and lived on the other $6."
Miss Sinclair, who is now at work on her second novel, said in regard to MWasteland":
"I have tried to apply observations made over a period of years of many first and second generation families I have known, and ef the problems they face. The family in my book happens to be Jewish, but their adjustments and maladjustments might be those of hundreds of immigrant and second-generation families in the United States."
