In advertising, acknowledged as a learned profession, the copywriter is nameless. What matters are the client’s interests, not the copywriter’s identity. As the agencies created radio programming in the 1930s and 1940s for soaps and dramatic programs, the writer emerged as an employee who deserved to be credi…

  • Facing the Abyss

    Bernard F DickARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    Charles Dickens would have agreed. The 1940s were the best and worst of times, a decade that witnessed a world war, a genocide, and the creation of a weapon of mass destruction. It was also, as George Hutchinson argues in Facing the Abyss, a dazzling work of cultural history, “the most intensely literary decade in American history, perhaps in world history” (p. 16).

    108 WLT MAY–AUGUST 2016 US Southwest, a literature that “negotiates between Anglo society and the Mexican community” in search of its own identity. A key component of this type of literature is that it bridges frontiers because writers and readers are continuously crossing over political, social, and cultural boundaries in search of a community of their own.

    of anything good you could achieve in life. Losing before you start to play, accepting whatever comes.” And Marian fulfills the description her friend, Lorena, makes about herself: “Marian, there are people who simply fuse with the landscape that belongs to them.

Chapter 2, possibly the best chapter of the book, turns to Ha Jin, an American counterpart to Gao in the sense that he writes in the language of his adopted country in the post-Tiananmen era and his literary accomplishments have been broadly recognized in the adopted nation. Chapter 3 discusses Annie Wang, who, like Gao, receives an amb…
