To become his protegee was beyond her wildest imagination. That she even knew who Perkins was when she first wrote to Scribners is in itself unlikely. Perkins had already guided Fitzgerald and Hemingway to literary success, and when he took Rawlings under his wing, he was developing the talents of Thomas Wolfe.
