Críticas:
"...a provocative, compelling, and useful study of artists whose work reflects the sensibilities and politics of the sixties...Out of the Sixties offers important and intelligent insights into both looking at and feeling about that window of experience." Regina Barreca, American Literature
"...Wyatt's essays are remarkably readable and illuminating....What is most joyously liberating in these studies is the nature of Wyatt's engagement--the vibrant personalism of tone and meditation. Wyatt lets his readers know that something is at stake for him in these texts and in the issues they at once respond to and introduce." Philip K. Jackson, Contemporary Literature

Out of the Sixties explores the tension between history and the self in the work of ten authors who came of age in the 1960s. Each chapter deals with a representative figure - George Lucas, Bruce Springsteen, Ann Beattie, Alice Walker. Wyatt argues that for each figure the resolution between the personal and the political comes through storytelling, the act where convention and original gestures meet. Through a survey of a wide array of forms - movies, rock music, drama, poetry, short story, the novel, journalism - Out of the Sixties conveys the rich cultural achievement of the generation shaped by the trauma of Vietnam. For some, their work is marked by the war and concerned directly with it; to others, Vietnam represents the prevailing counterculture sensibility often associated with the sixties. Out of the experience new voices emerge - from Michael Herr's landmark invention of a new journalistic voice in his Vietnam War reporting to Bruce Springsteen's tapping of the working-class decline in postwar America. The thread that ties the various genres and visions together, and that which constitutes Wyatt's own critical aesthetic, is the centrality of the personal response and the seamlessness, therefore, of identity and history.
