Garry Wills' What Paul Meant

I got to interview Garry Wills for the St. Petersburg Times.

Even Garry Wills isn't sure exactly how many books he has written. It's more than 30, the result of a daily routine of writing and researching, even when he goes on vacation.

That output has made him many things to many people: To progressive Catholics, he is America's foremost Catholic intellectual. Vatican loyalists, on the other hand, see the traitor who wrote Papal Sin: Structures of Deceit. Political junkies know his writing on the Nixon, Reagan and Bush administrations, and history buffs love his Pulitzer Prize winner, Lincoln at Gettysburg.
