Twenty-Four Ways of Looking at Mary McCarthy: The Writer and Her Work de Eve Stwertka

Twenty-Four Ways of Looking at Mary McCarthy: The Writer and Her Work: Contributions to the Study of World Literature

Autor Eve Stwertka, Margo Viscusi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 noi 1996 – vârsta până la 17 ani
This collection of essays by a diverse group of young academics, established critics, and well-known writers strikes an intriguing balance between scholarship and reminiscence. The only full-length book on Mary McCarthy that is not a biography, this volume contains discussions of McCarthy as a member of the New York intelligentsia, her search for a just and ethical political philosophy, and the paradox of her views on feminism. The contributors include McCarthy biographers Carol Brightman, Carol Gelderman, and Fran Kiernan; novelists Thomas Flanagan, Maureen Howard, and Thomas Mallon; Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Frances Fitzgerald; and critics Morris Dickstein and Katie Roiphe. The book concludes with a moving reminiscence by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
