He swallows Keith Botsford’s absurd claim that his subject “is a direct descendant of Machiavelli”. Leader constantly tries to connect every person and event in Bellow’s life to their fictional counterparts instead of emphasising his imaginative transformation of experience. Literary agent Andrew Wylie, well named “The Jackal,” poached Bellow from his longtime agent Harriet Wasserman. Varmaan lupas Salelle pyllynamia.

Some people have accused Generation of Vipers of being misogynistic. His only child, Karen Pryor, is the author of a classic book for breastfeeding mothers, Nursing Your Baby, and has commented that her father was far from being a misogynist. Wylie's daughter, Karen Pryor, is an author who became the inventor of animal "clicker" training.

In 1971 Wylie wrote a Name of The Game episode "L.A. 2017", in which the lead character awakens in a science-fiction dystopia, centered on a psychiatric fascist government overseeing the underground-sheltered remnants of humanity on the aftermath of an environmental (pollution) catastrophe.
