Empires of the Mind: I. A. Richards and Basic English in China, 1929-1979

Engaging and well-researched biography of Kazin, another figure in the New York intellectual scene, and Mary McCarthy's friend/rival. Useful for fleshing out one's understanding of that group, their beliefs, and the period in which they lived.
