Fumble
Katharine Brush (1902-1952) was a fiction writer born in the USA. According to an article published in Time magazine in 1940, Brush was one of the highest paid women writers in the United States by 1930, yet the Philippine Graphic magazine describes her –somewhat patronizingly– as a promising young writer in 1933, still far from those writers that Graphic's editorial considers top of the line, such as Edith Wharton or Willa Cather. Although this editorial compares Brush only to other women writers, perhaps one difference with some Spanish-language Philippine magazines is that her tale does not appear in the ‘home section’ or in the section devoted exclusively to women. As indicated in a box in the magazine itself, the short story “Fumble” first appeared in the US Cosmopolitan magazine in March 1928 and immediately in Nash's in May 1928. It was later reprinted in a collection of Brush's short stories entitled Night Club (1929). The story that gives its name to the volume won him the O. Henry Prize, awarded annually since 1919 for short stories. In this number of Graphic, the story is left unconcluded, to be finished in coming issues.
