Parnassus in pillory Book

Overview of Kazin's life over a 30+ year period from the 1930s to the 1960s. At times fascinating in it's portraits of the well-known authors, critics and politicians. At other times frustrating when Kazin writes in almost a stream of consciousness which can be hard to follow and seems not to make a point. But overall it is a passionate, honest and revealing work by one of our finest critics of the 20th Century.
