Writings
Asche's autobiography, Oscar Asche: His Life (1929), must be read with caution whenever figures are mentioned. He also wrote two novels: the Saga of Hans Hansen (1930), an improbable but exciting story, and The Joss Sticks of Chung (1931). His play Chu Chin Chow was published in 1931, but the other plays of which he was author or part author have not been printed. Among these were Mameena (1914), Cairo (1921), The Good Old Days, and The Spanish Main (under the name of Varco Marenes).
