Summary: A renaissance man in the truest sense of the word
Comment: Being a relatively young Wilson fan, I stumbled across this gem during my graduate school days at NYU while perusing the basement shelves of an archaic used bookstore in Manhattan...
After reading A Piece of My Mind I have since read Wilson's To the Finland Station, The American Earthquake, and Memoirs of Hecate County; of which all are magnificent works in their own right. However, A Piece of My Mind is the definitive starting point in order to get a full grasp of Wilson's thoughts and opinions on everything from literature and communism to religion and evolution. He even throws in a revealing chapter about his parents and their sometimes strained relationship, complete with emotional and mental breakdowns.
Obviously Wilson is one of the greatest thinkers of the last century and A Piece of My Mind clearly demonstrates his talents and breadth of knowledge. It should be required reading for those with inquisitive minds who have the need to get to the bottom of everything, much like Wilson himself. A renaissance man in the truest sense of the word, one can't go wrong in reading Wilson; for a brilliant scholar his writing is refreshingly jargon free and relatively straight forward, which is a real treat.
