Strikingly relevant and shrewdly observed, Mary McCarthy''s On the Contrary collects articles, talks, reviews, travel notes, a short story, and a personal reminiscence by the legendary writer and contrarian. Included is her review of Hannah Arendt''s seminal book, The Human Condition, a bitingly funny take on Simone de Beauvoir''s account of her visit to the United States in 1947, a candid essay addressing her experience with communism, and her no-holds-barred review of the Kinsey Report. McCarthy brings her deeply informed literary insights, provocative political arguments, and prescient cultural investigations to bear on everything from fiction to fashion, religion, sex, and politics.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mary Mccarthy

Mary McCarthy (1912-1989) nasceu em Seattle, Washington. Em Nova Iorque, no início da década de 1930, fez parte dos círculos comunistas, mas no final desta década repudiou o comunismo soviético, exprimindo a sua solidariedade a Trotsky depois dos Processos de Moscovo e criticou vigorosamente os dramaturgos e escritores que considerava favoráveis ao estalinismo. Escreveu para as mais importantes revistas e jornais americanos, advogando a liberdade criativa face à doutrina e criticando tanto o McCarthismo como o comunismo. Foi uma opositora empenhada à guerra do Vietname. O seu primeiro romance The Company She Keeps foi publicado em 1942. Foi também autora de Memoirs of a Catholic Girldwood, The Stones of Florence, Venice Observed e Birds of America, entre outros títulos.
