The thirties : from notebooks and diaries of the period

"A towering figure on the American literary scene for half a century, Edmund Wilson was a brilliant chronicler of our times ... 'The Thirties' is a volume of his diaries kept during this turbulent decade of his life--and the nation's. Wilson's reporter's eye has captured the nuances of a bygone era ... coal strikes in Appalachia, rural poverty in the South, life in Hollywood, the great Soviet experiment, his own personal triumphs and tragedies. F. Scott Fitzgerald, e.e. cummings, John Dos Passos and Mary McCarthy are but a handful of the many fascinating characters you will meet in these pages."--P [4] of cover.
