Pearl Buck Biography,
By Peter J Cordel (Colorado Springs, CO, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pearl S. Buck: A Biography, (Hardcover)
This biography was very informative and I thought it gave me a good sense of who Pearl Buck was and why she wrote the way she did. She was almost a Chinese native with the insights of an outsider. The author was so impressed with her that I was never sure if I got an honest look at Buck. He quoted from her so much that it was more like an autobiography. He was stuck on telling her point of view as he saw it. I felt there were major gaps in telling how she related to the rest of the world. I knew a little about her activities in support of progressive causes but I felt he brushed over those, instead always in a hurry to tell you what a wonderful extremely intelligent woman she was. It was an informative book but written like a sycophant.
