From Doubt 30, p. 43:

“Dianetics”

“More members than you could shake a stick at have called attention to a book by L. Ron Hubbard--Dianetics. Many are enthusiastic, hailing the subject as away beyond psychiatry, etc., etc.

“Unfortunately, the author appears to have been impressed by recollection that Knut Hamsun was one a street car motorman, and he presents his matter in a stream-of-consciousness manner as if in answer to the question: ‘What does a streetcar motorman think about?’ Maybe it’s great stuff, but YS suggests a reading of Hunger as a more profitable answer to the question.”
