Jerry Rosco is a writer and editor and the coeditor of Continual Lessons: The Journals of Glenway Wescott 1937-1955. He lives in New York City.
"[Rosco] sets forth clearly the public triumphs and private
sufferings experienced during this long and interesting life. A
biography of a 'minor' writer such as Wescott is always a labor of
love and readers can only be grateful to Rosco for his curiosity
and eloquence."--Edmund White, The New York Review of Books
"It is a distinct treat to recall my meetings with and listening in
awe to Glenway Wescott, noted novelist, essayist, pundit, and bon
vivant."--Liz Smith, syndicated columnist
"More than a biography of an unjustly ignored American writer,
Rosco's work portrays a fascinating panorama of the evolution of
America's gay artistic community."--Library Journal
"Wescott's life and career are important to American literature and
to the history of changing sexual mores in America. [This book]
should take its place alongside Carlos Baker's Ernest Hemingway,
Mark Schorer's Sinclair Lewis, and Philip Herring's Djuna [Barnes]
as the definitive treatment."--Sargent Bush, Jr., author of The
Writings of Thomas Hooker: Spiritual Adventure in Two Worlds
