The fourth volume of “one of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters” (Los Angeles Times).
The renowned diarist continues her record of her personal, professional, and artistic life, recounting her experiences in Greenwich Village for several years in the late 1940s, where she defends young writers against the Establishment—and her trip across the country in an old Ford to California and Mexico.
