 Erik Spanberg describes Weill, accordingly:
 <blockquote>All his life, Gus Weill has been distracted by a restless mind incapable of sticking to one subject for long. That peripatetic nature led to turns as a political consultant, an advertising executive, a gubernatorial adviser, television and radio host, poet, biographer, and now, at last, full-time novelist.<ref name=spanberg/></blockquote>
