"A good way to describe John Wilcock is to say that he is a talented
bohemian counter-culture journalist who once played a major role in
the emergence of America's underground press. Born 1927 in Sheffield,
England, he left school aged 16 to work on various newspapers in
England, and on Toronto periodicals before moving to New York City.
There in 1955 he became one of the five founders of the Village Voice
in which he and co-founder Norman Mailer wrote weekly columns.
Wilcock called his column "The Village Square", an intended pun. He
and young Mailer were not quite friends, although Wilcock was at
times annoyed, but always amused, by Mailer's monstrous ego." (From
the preface of Manhattan Memories, by Martin Gardner)
