My biography of Wescott, GLENWAY WESCOTT PERSONALLY, is pretty easy to find, it was just reprinted in paperback this year. In it, I include lots of Wescott’s own words on various subjects, including a good bit from my interview with him about The Pilgrim Hawk. It’s a novel that has been praised by other writers from Christopher Isherwood to Susan Sontag. It is included in the long-running paperback anthology SIX GREAT MODERN SHORT NOVELS. But it’s easy to find paperback copies from recent publication. Also, in Europe translations are available in seven languages. I recommend all his fiction and nonfiction. I worked on his first book of journals, Continual Lessons, with the great editor Robert Phelps. In the last few years I have put together a ms. of his last journals (from 1956-early 80s) which are very powerful emotionally will eventually find publication. For those interested in Glenway, as a writer and a really extraordinary person, I humbly suggest my biography, which is very three-dimensional, not an academic exercise. -Jerry Rosco
