I have a diss chapter on Pearl S. Buck! She is endlessly fascinating and her writing from the 40s is super interesting. She had one of the largest FBI surveillance files!
Oh, man! Can I read your dissertation chapter? (I just found it on PeopleGrove, lol, but I won't read it if you don't want me to... although maybe dissertations are different from fiction in this regard 😂)
She is SO interesting. I'm almost done the biography, but at the point I'm at, she's still only in her early forties. I think the book is mostly concerned with what I would call her emotional background and upbringing, which is probably mostly housed within her childhood and younger adulthood. There's a lot about how dramatically she shifted the West's view of China, but so far nothing about the FBI, lmao. Why did the FBI have such a big file on her? Was it because they thought she was like a Chinese Communist sympathizer?
I also now really want to go to the Pearl S. Buck House in PA!
