Mr. Pan
Mr. Pan: A Memoir is a 1942 book by Emily Hahn, published by Doubleday Company.[1]
The book includes a series of stories written for The New Yorker,[2] purportedly about a man named Pan Heh-ven,[3] who in reality was Shao Xunmei (Zau Sinmay).[4]
Marianne Hauser of The New York Times stated that the book "will be for a great many readers one of the most delightfully distracting and certainly one of the least political reading experiences of this season."[3] Kirkus Reviews stated that the book was "Perceptive, highlighted, amusing pictures of the often incomprehensibilities of Chinese psychology."[1]
