Papers, 1937-1948.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/44530244

This collection consists of various writings by Hans Otto Storm, as well as some notes and essays by his wife, Grace Cleone Camp. These writings include short stories, essays (some published), a play, letters (primarily about other travelers along his journeys), notes, and poetry. Many of his writings reflect Storm's business experiences and interactions with other foreigners in Peru. While later items comment eloquently on the intricacies of Latin American Spanish, his earlier letters reveal his strained efforts to even understand a menu written in that language. His writings also demonstrate a theoretical interest in the works of Max Weber and Thorstein Veblen. His letters and notes reflect his travels. The collection also includes a scrapbook in which Storm's wife kept newspaper clippings about Storm's publications, his awards and lectures, and his being ousted from Peru in 1937. Telegrams received by Storm inquiring about his deportation are also included in the collection.
