PEARL S. BUCK - TYPED MANUSCRIPT SIGNED 1940
<< Previous Image   Next Image >>
PEARL BUCK. Typed Manuscript signed three times: "PSB", 6p, 8½x11. Titled Asia column, this text is a lively review of several books about Asia. Pencil note (unknown hand) at top of page 1: "October, 1940, Book-Shelf". Pages 1-5 are a coherent essay, unsigned, but bearing numerous ink revisions in Buck's hand, with her name typed at the end. An unnumbered page contains three additional, brief reviews, each initialed by Buck. The books reviewed are The Dream We Lost, by Freda Utley; The Pacific Ocan, by Felix Riesenberg; Suez and Panama, by Andre Siegfried; and, more briefly, China Then and Now by Jean Escarra, Approach to the Hills by C. F. Meade, and Escape with Me by Osbert Sitwell. Buck lauds most of these works, while tactfully dismissing the others with faint praise. (Escarra's book is "workmanlike"; Sitwell is "a discerning tourist.") Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973), born to Presbyterian missionaries, spent the first forty years of her life in China, the setting of many of her books. Her second novel, The Good Earth, won the 1932 Pulitzer Prize, and Buck also won the 1938 Nobel Prize in Literature for her epic works about China. She later wrote about other Asian nations, including India and Korea. Staple holes in upper left. Slightly soiled. Otherwise, fine condition.
