PEARL S. BUCK
Book review - handwritten and signed "P S B" - for First Set in China.
This document reveals a facet of Buck's life forgotten by many: reviewer and
essay writer.
Autograph manuscript signed: "P S B" in blue ink, with editorial marks
and corrections in blue and black ink, 1 page, 8½x11. Titled: "First
Set in China - James B. [illegible] -". Buck wrote essays and reviews
for magazines like Asia (which she also edited), The Nation,
The Chinese Review and Atlantic Monthly. Buck (1892-1973),
born to Presbyterian missionaries, spent the first forty years of her life in
China, the setting of many of her books. She was the first American woman to
win the Nobel Prize in Literature (1938). Best known for her novels about
China (including The Good Earth; 1932 Pulitzer Prize for
Fiction), Buck wrote over 70 novels as well as biographies, an autobiography
(My Several Worlds, 1954), dramas, children's literature and
translations from the Chinese. Lightly toned and creased. Three torn binder
holes on left edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
