Emily Hahn was one of the most prolific and enduring writers at The New Yorker - her first byline appeared there in 1929, her last in 1996. She was also the author of fifty-three books, and, had her 1933 travel memoir, Congo Solo, not been published in a censored version during the darkest days of the Great Depression, it might well have been hailed as a classic of the genre, alongside Dinesen's Out of Africa. In many ways Hahn's vivid account of her eight-month sojourn in a remote medical clinic was years ahead of its time.
