Edmund Wilson on reading May 16, 2016

 

Mr. Edmund Wilson, when younger
Edmund Wilson (d. 1972), eminent writer and literary critic (Wikimedia CC).  A note for certain readers: In quoting Mr. Wilson on the subject of reading, I should not be understood as endorsing his literary applications of Freudianism and Marxism, nor his express hostility to Christianity in general and Mormonism in particular.

 

“No two persons ever read the same book.”  (Edmund Wilson)
