Shivery Games

By D.J. Enright
The Four-Gated City
by Doris Lessing

Knopf, 614 pp., $7.50

This is the fifth and last (irrevocably the last) of the novels which make up the sequence called 'Children of Violence,' and in the most obvious sort of way it does more than its predecessors to account for the over-all title. Otherwise, and apart from the continuing technique of total evocation, it would hardly seem to come from the same pen.
