As a writer Buck started with the novel EAST WIND: WEST WIND (1930), which received critical recognition.

How is the punctuation mark used in the title of the book by Pearl Buck?

It's just used as a divider--it would be a mistake to think of it as punctuation mark. She could have used a dash or a comma just as well.

It's a poor choice if it was made by either the writer or, as I suspect it was, a book cover designer.
East Wind • West Wind
East Wind~West Wind
East Wind-West Wind
East Wind West Wind
East Wind/West Wind
East Wind ?-? West Wind

East Wind☺West Wind ( just kidding)
East Wind ♥ West Wind
East Wind ☼West Wind

Note that nothing in between the two words seems to work as well as something.
