IRWIN SHAW. TLS: "Irwin Shaw," 1p, 8¼x10½. Klosters Suisse (Switzerland), 1979 January 28. To Mr. Norbutt. In part: "Thank you for your letter, coming out of the Brooklyn in which I was reared and educated. Being a Jew, I suffered from many disadvantages, too, since in those distant years so many avenues of advancement were closed to me. I knew the Bedford Stuyvesant area very well, as the first girl I was in love with lived there and we would often walk to her home after classroom hours were over in Brooklyn College, which we both attended and which was then situated in the Borough Hall section of downtown Brooklyn. Literature then was an escape for me from the dreadful realities of the Depression, a source of infinite amusement, a means of ascertaining what my values must be in relation to the world around me, a method by which I could form my own moral code and judgment of the people around me and the intentions and integrity of the people who made the laws under which I lived and the institutions which I was ready to defend and those I was prepared to attack. It also inspired me to create on my own..." Works of novelist, short story writer and playwright Irwin Shaw (1913-1984) include Rich Man, Poor Man, The Young Lions and Beggarman, Thief. Lightly creased at upper blank portion, else fine condition.
