Aline Bernstein recorded the pivotal moment of Wolfe’s change in allegiances in “Eugene,” one of three short stories in her book Three Blue Suits (New York: Equinox Cooperative Press, 1933). Perkins appears as an editor named Watkins, who suggests that Eugene Lyons, a prodigious Southern writer, apply for a Guggenheim fellowship. The story unfairly implies that Watkins has meddled in Lyons’s love affair with an unnamed Jewish woman. “Watkins was right,” Mrs. Bernstein wrote; “this relationship bore nothing but jealousy and pain in the end.” (pp. 66-67).
