One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of her
long life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the United States.
In her lifetime she earned this country's most highly acclaimed literary award: the
Pulitzer Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel
Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her
lifetime because of her prolific literary output, which consisted of some eighty - five published
works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for
children, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some
twenty - five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the
land in which she spent so much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between
the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those two cultures she became as the
described herself, "mentally bifocal." Her unique background made her into an unusually
interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but
be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally
famous writer and a humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck
without learning about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean
Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and
Pulitzer prizes. Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author. is a captivating
subject of study.
