Real Judas plot reviewed by Jack London

Sinclair Lewis's"Real Judas" plot reviewed by Jack London, ca. 1910.

REAL JUDAS The account of the communion supper at seq. in "john" is best for the "Real Judas" tale .... bs. Peter's denial of Christ (in story 2) is Judas' confession of him. (trying to get himself killed by the mob; who fear his calmness too.) And see "Luke" for return of 30 pieces silver. Whole story in one night (Judas the quiet referring ??? adorer of Christ. Chosen for the most difficult task of all.) The real Judas was the goat of the bunch. Loves master most of all; hence chosen for this task he so hated. Shadow of the ???, as he throws himself over the cliff. (13)
