Goldstone, Richard H. The art of fiction XVI : Thornton Wilder. In : Writers at work : the Paris review interviews. Ed. by Malcolm Cowley. (New York, N.Y. : Viking Press, 1958).
Interviewer : Did the young Thornton Wilder resemble George Brush, and in what ways ?
Wilder : Very much so. I came from a very strict Calvinistic father, was brought up partly among the missionaries of China, and went to that splendid college at Oberlin at a time when the classrooms and student life carried a good deal of the pious didacticism which would now be called narrow Protestantism.
