Edited by Wilson's biographer, this volume poignantly (& defiantly) records the final years of one of our foremost critics & writers, taking its place alongside his major works, "To the Finland Station", "Patriotic Gore", "The Shores of Light", & "Letters on Literature & Politics", as an enduring contribution to American culture. Shuttling between his house on Cape Cod, a family home in upstate New York, & New York City, w/ forays into Boston & Cambridge, Western Europe, Hungary, Jordan & Israel during this decade, Wilson captures the flavor of an international elite (Stravinsky, Auden, Andre Malraux, & Isaiah Berlin), the New York literati, & the Kennedy White House. He is equally happy seeking out rare plants & talking w/ neighbors in the small community of Talcottville, which he viewed as a microcosm of the United States. In "The Sixties" Wilson also struggles w/ his aging, as intellectual & personal curiosity contend against weakening physical powers & flirtations that afford a sense of biological revival strain his relationship with his wife Elena. He watches his children establishing their own lives & is aware of unfulfilled relationships w/ them. Yet, as he plunges into the contemporary scene of art, thought, & public affairs, the pull of his personal & cultural past strengthened by the sense of his approaching end. Witnessing his own foibles & the ironies of human nature, expressing feeling more deeply than he often had in his journal, he writes his account of this decade w/ a concentration undiluted by other large-scale projects. The extraordinary personal record begun in another pivotal period of American life, with "The Twenties", comes to a fitting culmination in this masterpiece. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Wilson recovers things of the past, his memories of all kinds of friends, great or obscure, always bringing some trait to life in the present. When I was lucky enough to meet Edmund Wilson in person, I felt I had met the great American tradition in person. -V.S. Pritchett, The New Yorker -- [These journals] contain much beautiful writing & many telling vignettes that could have found their niche in print nowhere else. Their poignance, overall, stems from the transformation, by the mute years, of an immediate presentness for the writer to an irrevocable pastness for us, the readers." -John Updike * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this EXTRAORDINARY copy for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
