Since it was published in France in , the book has reached more than , readers and been translated into 20 different languages. However, the real achievement of the book is not its reportage, but its attitude. It is written entirely without self pity — and, astonishingly, without judgment. The writing is often shockingly deadpan; where it falters, it does so only with compassion or tact. There is no recoil from the facts, but no sentiment either. In the end, the writing-out of this intolerable childhood comes across as courageous, necessary and deeply touching. Like so much of the book, this section has both a documentary exactitude and a surreal oddity. It sends the reader stumbling away with a head full of questions. Just how, exactly, did that traumatised child become the assured and beautiful young man who gazes so calmly from the author photo on the book jacket? Whom did he meet, once he had escaped to the city, and how? Who was it who helped him save and repossess his life — and who inspired him to write this well?

This was when I first came to New York, and that piece of writing was the first important piece of work I did for magazines. After I finished it, I became Managing Editor. Burton J. Eddy's early youth". She said Hendrick was "very much annoyed at being called off the job and never forgave Mr. As for the other 13 installments: "A great deal of time and money were spent on authenticating all the material, and with the exception of the first chapter, I think the whole history is as authentic and accurate as human performances ever are. Wells, is in the awkward position of having her name attached to a book, of which she didn't write a word. Cather believed Frank Nelson Doubleday , Doubleday's co-founder, should have promoted the book more: "Undoubtedly, Doubleday has perfectly good business reasons for keeping the book out of print. There has been a great demand for it to which he has been consistently blank. You see nobody took any interest in its fate. I wrote it myself as a sort of discipline, an exercise. I wouldn't fight for it; it's not the least in my line. I suppose somebody ought to know the actual truth of the matter and so long as I am writing to you about it, I might as well ask you to be the repository of these facts. I know, of course, that you want them for some perfectly good use, and will keep my name out of it. Cather left a clause in her will forbidding the publication of her letters and private papers, which meant that for many years her letters could only be paraphrased by scholars. In letters to others, Cather continued to deny her authorship; she told Genevive Richmond in and Harold Goddard Rugg in that she had helped only to organize and rewrite parts of the material. Eddy, I have recently learned on almost if not quite the best authority in the world that the famous pathfinding predecessor of all these [Eddy] biographies—the devastating series published in McClure's under the name of Georgine Milmine in the brave days of —were not actually written by Miss Milmine at all. Instead, a re-write job based on the manuscript of her researches was assigned to a minor member of the McClure staff who has since made quite a name for herself in American letters. That name is Willa Cather. In March , the Los Angeles Times reported that a copy of the book listed for sale by Philip Duschnes , a New York bookseller, was found to contain an editor's note that the book had been written by Cather. In a statement published by the Christian Science Sentinel on January 19, , Eddy responded to the early installments in McClure's by challenging its description of her father, early family life, and the issues surrounding her marriages. McClure's had said that the Bible was the only book in the house when she was growing up; on the contrary, she wrote, her father was a great reader. To counter McClure's claim that her childhood home had provided a "lonely and unstimulating existence", her statement described the educational and professional achievements of her family. In response to McClure's description of her as bad tempered, she offered as an example of her kindness that a housekeeper of the family's had resigned because Eddy allowed a blind girl, who had knocked on the door and was unknown to the family, to stay with them. According to Peter Lyon in his biography of S. The Christian Scientists came in. Before they sat down, they stood on chairs and closed the transoms over the two doors to the rooms. Then they made their demand: the series must not be published. To fill the silence, Brynner began rather nervously to assure the Scientists that the articles were not sensational, not offensive; that there was no cause for apprehension; that all the facts had been most carefully verified. One of the Scientists cut in to suggest that perhaps there would be no objection to publication of the material if the Scientists were permitted to edit it as they might please.
