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

Companion to the best map markers ever!
These are a must for minor corrections when using their pens!

Didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised
Purchased to go along with the staedtler color markers. Mostly writing on laminate and loksaks. Works well and allows you to easily wipe off any permanent marker. Curious as to how long it’ll last. Keep a small cloth to wipe nib clean after use.

Waste of money
What a waste of money this was. After receiving this I was excited to try it out, my excitement soon turned to disappointment. No matter what I did, the only thing that I could get to come out was clear liquid. It immediately went into the trash.
Save your money and just go buy the BIC correction pen.
