...moods of neurotic tension, in flashes of brilliant writing. Its central character is a comic grotesque called Wilt, a washed-out, oldtime, expatriate newspaperman, middleaged, garrulous, full of stories he never got around to writing. In a promising beginning, Wilt is introduced on a Paris street corner in mysterious talk with a big, naïve pal named Bernie, a medical student just arrived from the Midwest in hopes of meeting his hero, a famed French toxicologist. Wilt, who had met Bernie only a few hours before, offers to arrange the meeting...
