	Review of Beryl Markham's West with the Night
		Beryl Markham was the first pilot to fly the North Atlantic west to east, starting from England.
		It would be naive to think otherwise, of course, and normally I would assume it from page one; but the style and spirit of the book are such that I had forgotten it until after the end, when it came back to me as a bit of a shock.
		The unpleasant aftertaste has to do with the concrete things that Markham was actually doing while having her most memorable life.

	Beryl Markham (1902-1986)
		Beryl Markham, a pioneer aviator, was the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean from London to North America.
		Beryl Markham spent most of her life in Kenya, a country in eastern Africa, where she was well known for her career as a bush pilot and for her success as a breeder and trainer of racehorses.
		She was seen over Ireland at 10:25 P.M.; at 2:00 the next afternoon she was spotted by a ship in the Atlantic; and at 4:35 P.M. she was reported to be flying over the tip of Newfoundland, the easternmost part of North America.

	Author and Hero in West with the Night
		Both Markham and Hemingway admire those who follow what Markham calls "a realistic code that [has] no room for temporizing or easy sentiment." Markham respects animals because they are not sentimental, and she uses the same standard to judge people.
		Considering Markham's admiration of stoic courage and her powerful descriptions of action, Hemingway's unusual comments are hardly surprising; nor is it surprising that these comments moved Gutekunst to read West with the Night, and that his reading led him to conclude the autobiography was a forgotten masterpiece.
		While in the book the Delamares are Beryl's "nearest neighbors," and the nearest white children live in a Boer colony two hundred miles away, in fact, as Lovell describes, Markham grew up with her brother Richard and regularly visited cousins who lived a short ride from her father's farm.

		Beryl's uninhibited life in Africa and Los Angeles is documented, but not much credit given to her remarkable talents this woman obviously possessed.
		Several writers have suggested what is really a sensible solution - Beryl was not an author in the traditional sense, she wrote about her life and experiences, so her efforts when trying to write commercially were plagued by her disinterest and lack of ability.
		Now that Beryl Markham is conveniently dead, she claims there was such a relationship--but she doesn't quote Beryl Markham on the matter.

		Although Markham's story is remarkable based on facts alone - taking us from her childhood haunts to her historic flight across the Atlantic Ocean - it is the elegance and depth of the writing that sets this book apart.
		Beryl Markham accomplished great historically notable things, but her real legacy may be that in telling of her life, she introduces to us people, our earthly brothers, dwellers upon the Dark Continent, in a light that allows us to love them as kindred souls.
		Markham's stories of hunting warthogs, stalking elephants, and being "moderately eaten by a lion" are some of the funniest and most vivid stories I have read.

		Her text sometimes reads as if it had been hastily dictated over a bad long-distance line.
		Worst of all, partly because of the coarseness of the writing, Beryl Markham is never brought to life from within.
		"Trzebinski's book covers exactly the same material as Lovell's [Straight On Till Morning], and even uses many of the same quotes, but seems devoted mainly to branding Markham as promiscuous in a way that no biography of a man could ever get away with....In short, Lovell's book is a generous one; Trzebinski's mean-spirited.
