Why read it?
1 author picked Personal History as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Vincent Sheeanâs memoir, published in 1935, stands out because it established a genre of memoir writing by foreign correspondents and because of its high literacy value.
âIt has now been 30 years or more since Vincent Sheean wrote his Personal History,â commented Saturday Review of Literature editor Norman Cousins commented years later. âMany of the foreign correspondents have tried to convey the same sense of an intimate, interactive relationship with events and people that gave such luster to Sheeanâs book.â
Sheeanâs still-young career had spanned the globe for Europe, to North Africa and the Middle East, to the 1920sâŠ
From John's list on by foreign correspondents.
