"It is a personal history most of all, but it is also a large slice of Americana. These are pieces here that take in the intellectual and ideological campus scene of the thirties, affected as it was by the Spanish Civil War; the literary and publishing world, especially as experienced by a young writer outside the eastern literary establishment; the unhinging social and political issues of the sixties and seventies; the relationship with writers and students in many places and on varying levels. Access to his wide-ranging observations, made possible by these interviews, represents a long-overdue service - not just to those with primary literary interests but to anyone fascinated with the phenomenon of America."
