Purity in the Sixth Printing
Cahill, Edgar H. | August 17, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Hunger," by Knut Hamsun. Author Hamsun's book's "sixth large printing" shows a decided limp and traces of clumsy stitching. Somewhere between the fifth and sixth printing the book has lost three pages. Just how or why it came by the loss seems to be a very dark mystery indeed. The publishing office, refusing even to admit that any excisions have been made, whispers vaguely the name of editor John Sumner. For "Hunger" has had something of a career in the U.S. Ten years ago Viggo Eberlin, Danish editor and journalist, at that time connected with the New York Public Library, found that inquiries for the book were received at the library every day.
