 "Seeing Mary Plain: A Life of Mary McCarthy" by Frances Kiernan - Salon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

Rivaling "Infinite Jest" for heft, "Seeing Mary Plain" ends with a 16-page alphabetical cast of characters, a "Who's Who" of midcentury American letters that includes the Vassar classmates who were McCarthy's first eager readers.
The jury of scolds and gossips that Kiernan has convened is a loving corrective -- because they do not finally cut McCarthy down to size at all but, rather, allow her to expand into a space that's roomier than any one writer's beguiling sentences or carefully qualified memoirs could allow.
