Description
Seeing Mary Plain: A Life of Mary McCarthyFrom her Partisan Review days to her controversial success as the author of The Group, to an epic libel battle with Lillian Hellman, Mary McCarthy brought a nineteenth century scope and drama to her emblematic twentieth century life. Dubbed by Time as "quite possibly the cleverest woman America has ever produced," McCarthy moved in a circle of ferociously sharp tongued intellectuals all of whom had plenty to say about this diamond in their midst.
From her Partisan Review days to her controversial success as the author of The Group, to an epic libel battle with Lillian Hellman, Mary McCarthy brought a nineteenth-century scope and drama to her emblematic twentieth-century life. Dubbed by Time as "quite possibly the cleverest woman America has ever produced," McCarthy moved in a circle of ferociously sharp-tongued intellectuals all of whom had plenty to say about this diamond in their midst. Frances Kiernan's biography does justice to one of the most controversial American intellectuals of the twentieth century. With interviews from dozens of McCarthy's friends, former lovers, literary and political comrades-in-arms, awestruck admirers, amused observers, and bitter adversaries, Seeing Mary Plain is rich in ironic judgment and eloquent testimony. A Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2000 and a Washington Post Book World "Rave.""Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent room divider
Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel
I have three of these from this company! 2 of them are 6 panel and one 8 panel (this one). A+ quality and wonderful with privacy. I have this on my screened in balcony and it withstands the wind pretty well. Fits right behind my giant plant pots. No assembly needed and it was long enough to cover the entire screened area. No more nosy neighbors! Great for
Condos! Woohoo!

Great Divider
Comes assembled. It is heavy, but fairly easy to move and use. I’m 5’4, 110 and I can do it myself. It’s thick, it’s tall, it looks good, not sloppy or cheap. Doesn’t smell. Great room divider. We use it for our office between our desks.

Good purchase
Color: White, Size: 8 Panel
I bought this in white for use in a finished basement to hide equipment on the wall and create a nice space to place a bed. Because it doesn’t need to be moved and the room is temperature controlled, I expect it to last for a long time. The screen is pretty and I like that the woven material is not easily breakable. I’m pleased with the purchase.
