During the time chronicled in these notebooks (expertly edited by Leon Edel), Wilson was merely Bunny Wilson, a bright, pompous young writer among other writers in Greenwich Village. He supported himself with work at Vanity Fair, where the staff sometimes played a game with the secretaries called "The Rape of the Sabine Women," and later became an associate editor of the more staid New Republic.

...years since, Carter has composed at an unpressured pace made possible partly by a small inheritance from his father. He lives with his wife Helen in Manhattan's Greenwich Village and does some teaching at Juilliard and Cornell. He has a studio with a piano, but of late has been more comfortable composing elsewhere-"away from the telephone, away from the requests I get 50 times a year from worthy institutions asking my advice on whether to give $20,000 to somebody else...
