Insightful and honest
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Very interesting journal entries that cover a variety of topics. A blend of literary and personal matters that give the reader great insight into the era. Wilson is very frank and honest. Some of the entries would make most of us blush, but in the end it's easier to trust the material, knowing it hasn't been filtered or spun to create a better legacy. Wilson's travels are fascinating. He was comfortable around society's elite's as well as common people. And the range of topics he writes about is impressive. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the culture and politics of the 1950's.
