Very good presentation on the great Edmund Wilson!!! As a younger man I enjoyed his literary essays, To the Finland Station, and Patriotic Gore. I miss those clever, laser sharp sentences and paragraphs and this has been a nice journey back to the days when I read some quality writers and thinkers.
Gonna buy this book. Because it takes balls to shittalk lotr i will say that. Love LOTR books and movies. But will buy this book Patriotic Gore in some weeks when i get paid.
Whatever his merits as a writer and critic otherwise, and I will grant he had significant merit,, all this gossip material really is worthless except to idle busy-bodies, and Wilson, as seen in his journals himself is no little to blame for it; often speaking about sex in there like a childish adolescent wanting to show off.
