Edmund Wilson
This comprehensive biography of prolific critic, essayist, historian, and novelist Edmund Wilson (1895-1972) posits, quite successfully, that the subject lived a life as romantic and chaotic as his friend F. Scott Fitzgerald's. Wilson suffered a nervous breakdown and the tragic death of his second wife (he was married four times, among them, Mary McCarthy); had affairs with numerous beautiful women, including Edna St. Vincent Millay; and was friend to literary giants such as John Dos Passos, Vladimir Nabakov, and W.H. Auden.
Edmund Wilson, the Man in Letters
"Arranged by correspondent and moving through the phases of his career, Edmund Wilson, the Man in Letters constitutes an exemplary autobiography cum cultural history. The writing itself is vintage Wilson - a blending of classical and conversational styles that stands as part of the modern American canon and is filled with the emotions and tastes of a master."--BOOK JACKET.

Leonard Kriegel examines Wilson s principal nonfiction works in depth: "Axel" "s Castle," " "which he finds a classic in its own right; "To the Finland Station," " "which he holds to be Wilson s finest work; and "The American Jitters," " Travels in Two Democracies," " The Triple Thinkers," " Patriotic Gore," " The Wound and the Bow," " "and "Europe Without Baedecker," " "with which, taken together, Mr. Kriegel feels, Wilson has assured himself a permanent position in America s cultural legacy because of his unparalleled fusion of intelligence and lucidity."
