- "A captivating memoir from the incomparable Garry Wills, "one of the country's most distinguished intellectuals" (The New York Times Book Review) Illuminating and provocative, Outside Looking In is a compelling chronicle of an original thinker at work in remarkable times. With his dazzling style and journalist's eye for detail, Garry Wills brings history to life. Whether writing about the civil rights movement, 1960s protests, or close-up studies of the people who have shaped our world, only he could bring together in one book Barry Goldwater, Daniel Berrigan, Beverly Sills, Richard Nixon, and John Waters. Wills shares, as only the best raconteurs can, stories of the fascinating people he has closely observed during more than fifty years of reporting."@en
- "Bookish and retiring, Garry Wills has been an outsider in the academy, in journalism, even in his church. Yet these qualities have paradoxically prompted others to share intimate insights with him - perhaps because he is not a rival, a competitor, or a threat. As an observer, he has been able to look in on extraordinary and unlikely places and events. Outside Looking In is a compelling chronicle of an original thinker at work in remarkable times."
