Readers of Edmund Wilson's diaries for the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s may have regretted that in these volumes Wilson omitted sustained accounts of the literary life in which he had been immersed for thirty years, and supplied only glancing sketches of such youthful companions as John Bishop, Edna Millay, and Scott Fitzgerald.

One example here might be Marrs's characterization of the Hotel des Saints-Pères, where Welty stayed in Paris, as "shabby"; this seems Marrs once again combatting Welty's image as a perfect lady and straining to present Welty as a bohemian, slumming on the Left Bank, when in fact Welty continually stayed at very nice places when she traveled, and the Hotel des Saints-Pères (last I looked) is one, just as it was when Edna Millay lived there in the 1920s.
