During his time in Norway, he began work on his seminal novel Cry, The Beloved Country, which he completed over the course of his journey, finishing it on Christmas Eve in San Francisco in 1946.[4] There, he met Aubrey and Marigold Burns, who read his manuscript and found a publisher: the editor Maxwell Perkins, noted for editing novels of Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Wolfe, guided Paton's first novel through publication with Scribner's. On 9 May 1953, it became the Liberal Party of South Africa, with Paton as a founding co-vice-president,[7] which fought against the apartheid laws introduced by the National Party government. ^ Avakian, Talia (10 January 2018)."Google Doodle Celebrates South African Author and Anti-Apartheid Activist Alan Paton", Time. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-196.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-196.txt
