Autograph Letter Signed: "John Hersey", 1p, 6¼x7. New Haven,
Connecticut, 1984, February 17. On personal letterhead to Mr. Nagy. In
full: "Thank you for your pleasing letter. I'm afraid I don't keep any
photographs of myself around: I don't especially like to look at my own face.
Your generous reading of my books will have given you, at least indirectly, a
better picture of me. Best wishes to you for pleasure in future reading - and
other sorts of pleasure, too. Sincerely," A former war correspondent in the
Pacific and Europe for Time magazine (1939-1945), John Hersey
(1914-1993) brought vivid accounts of war to readers in such books as
Men on Bataan (1942), Hiroshima (1946), a graphic report on the
bombing of the Japanese city, and The Wall (1950). His 1944 book,
A Bell for Adano, the story of the Allied occupation of Italy, won the
1945 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Fold crease not near signature.
