REVIEWS OF WEST WITH THE NIGHT:
From a letter to Maxwell Perkins: "Did you read Beryl Markham's book, West with the Night? I knew her fairly weIl in Africa and never would have suspected that she could and would put pen to paper except to write in her flyer's log book. As it is, she has written so weIl, and marvelously weIl, that I was completely ashamed of myself a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But [she] can write rings around aIl of us who consider ourselves writers. The only parts of it that I know about personaIly, on account of having been there at the time and heard other people's stories, are absolutely true .... I wish you would get it and read it because it is reaIly a bloody wonderful book."
