Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-03 00:00:00 David Ladanyi Finally finished this monster just as 2011 is ending. It was really way more than I needed to know about Mary McCarthy, but I'm glad I read it. It's good to read about a successful woman who was renowned for her sharp edges.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-10-15 00:00:00 Roy Roach A fantastic book, offering a chorus of opinions and views by McCarthy's friends, family and colleagues, former classmates, etc. Couldn't ask for a fuller portrait of the woman and her work. Her fascinating, multi-faceted personality amplified by Kiernan's methodological choice.
