   Extractions: web site last updated 22 June 2003 Excerpted from The Publication of 'Hiroshima' in The New Yorker John Hersey was born on June 17, 1914 in Tientsin, China to missionaries. He returned to the US with his parents when he was ten years old. Hersey attended Yale and then went on to graduate study at Cambridge. During World War II he was a journalist and covered the fighting in both Europe and Asia, writing articles for Time, Life, and The New Yorker. In the winter of 1945-46, William Shawn, managing editor of The New Yorker, discussed with Hersey a story idea that would illustrate the effects of the atomic bomb that had been dropped in Hiroshima the summer before. Hersey began working on the story in May 1946. He spent three weeks in Japan doing interviews and research, then flew back to the U. S. in late June and continued working on the article, which was published in late August 1946. After "Hiroshima" was published in The New Yorker, Hersey went on to publish several short fiction pieces and articles about other topics in The New Yorker and other publications. His next large-scale writing project, called the The Wall (1950), was a heavily researched historical novel about the Nazi destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. The novel was critically acclaimed and is considered to be the first American novel about the Holocaust. Around this time, Hersey participated in several writer's organizations as well as committees formed to promote public education. He campaigned for Adlai Stevenson and serving as one of Stevenson's speechwriters. Hersey was named Master of Pierson College at Yale University where he became first a lecturer and then a professor. Hersey also continued writing. After The Wall came The Marmot Drive, A Single Pebble, The War Lover, The Child Buyer, White Lotus, and others.
