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

Twenty-Four Ways of Looking at Mary McCarthy: The Writer and Her Work By Eve Stwertka, Margo Viscusi
1996 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0313297762 | PDF | 2 MB


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.
