520    The Sixties, the last of Edmund Wilson's posthumously 
       published journals, is a personal history that is also 
       brilliant social comedy and an anatomy of the times. 
       Edited by Wilson's biographer, this volume poignantly - 
       and defiantly - records the final years of one of our 
       foremost critics and writers, taking its place alongside 
       his major works, including To the Finland Station, 
       Patriotic Gore, The Shores of Light, and Letters on 
       Literature and Politics, as an enduring. Contribution to 
       American culture. Shuttling between his house on Cape Cod,
       a family home in upstate New York, and New York City, with
       forays to Boston and Cambridge, Western Europe, Hungary, 
       Jordan, and Israel during this decade. Wilson catches the 
       flavor of an international elite - Stravinsky, Auden, 
       Andre Malraux, and Isaiah Berlin - the New York literati, 
       and the Kennedy White House. He is equally happy seeking 
       out rare plants and talking with neighbors in the small. 
       Community of Talcottville, which he viewed as a microcosm 
       of the United States. In The Sixties Wilson also struggles
       with his aging, as intellectual and personal curiosity 
       contend against weakening physical powers, and flirtations
       that afford a sense of biological revival strain his 
       relationship with his wife, Elena. He watches his children
       establishing their own lives and is aware of unfulfilled 
       relationships with them. Yet, as he plunges into the 
       contemporary scene of. Art, thought, and public affairs, 
       the pull of his personal and cultural past is strengthened
       by the sense of his approaching end. Witnessing his own 
       foibles and the ironies of human nature, expressing 
       feeling more deeply than he often had in his journal, he 
       writes his account of this decade with a concentration 
       undiluted by other large-scale projects. The extraordinary
       personal record begun in another pivotal period in 
       American life, with The Twenties, comes to a fitting 
       Culmination in The Sixties.
