Bookish and retiring, Garry Wills has been an outsider in the academy, in journalism, even in his cathedral. Yet these qualities have, paradoxically, prompted visitors to share seductive insights with him - perhaps because he's not a rival, a competition, or a hazard. Sometimes this made him the prey of con men, like conspiratorialist Tag Lane or civil protection under the law leader Wayne Bevel. At other times it led to close companionship with such people as William F. Buckley, Jr., or singer Beverly Sills. The effect is the most personal booklet Wills has ever before written. Along with his stunning style and journalist's attention for depth, Wills brings background to life, be it the civil protection under the law motion; the protests contrary to the Vietnam Conflict; the presidential campaigns of Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Expenses Clinton; or the set of Oliver Stone's Nixon. Illuminating and provocative, Exterior Looking In is a convincing chronicle of an original thinker at work in exceptional times.
