"A crusty old-school Yankee misanthrope with a huge appetite for books, liquor, women, travel, conversation late into the night, and languages, Wilson was the last of a breed of man of letters who owed his allegiance to no school of theory and no political orthodoxy. Of all his Journals, the Sixties are the best because the Kennedy era revived his energies and spirits, and the cast of characters is the most varied, ranging from his old flame Anais Nin to Mike Nichols & Elaine May. The pages bustle with activity and sharp insights, belying Wilson's age and bulk (he was often and aptly compared to Sidney Greenstreet of The Maltese Falcon). This book and Upstate are the two masterpieces of Wilson's winter season on earth."
