Reviews
Teacher, scholar, novelist and playwright, Wilder alternated between seeking solitude and relishing his role as a celebrity. He loved talking, acting, travelingseldom staying anywhere for more than a month at a timeand found it easiest to write in foreign hotels. PW noted that "Harrison's breathlessly high-spirited biography aptly catches and matches his ebullient hero."
