A candid, thinly-veiled portrait of the late-1930s New York intellectual scene, its penetrating gaze and creative fusion of life and literature-"mutual plagiarism," she called it--became the hallmark of McCarthy's fiction, which the Library of America now presents in full for the first time in deluxe collector's edition. The Oasis (1949), a wicked satire about a failed utopian community, and The Groves of Academe (1952), a pioneering campus novel depicting the insular and often absurd world of academia, burnished her reputation as an acerbic truth-teller, but it was with A Charmed Life (1955), a searing story of small-town infidelity, that McCarthy fully embraced the frank and avant-garde treatment of gender and sexuality that would inspire generations of readers and writers. Also included are all eight of McCarthy's short stories, four from her collection Cast a Cold Eye (1950), and four collected here for the first time. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a McCarthy, Mary, $d 1912-1989. $t Company that she keeps. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a McCarthy, Mary, $d 1912-1989. $t Oasis. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a McCarthy, Mary, $d 1912-1989. $t Groves of academe. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a McCarthy, Mary, $d 1912-1989. $t Charmed life. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a McCarthy, Mary, $d 1912-1989. $t Cast a cold eye. $k Selections. 700 1 $a Mallon, Thomas, $d 1951- $e editor. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 290. 941 $a 6 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092759.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190530011915.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104405.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905045629.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229055459.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20170620010901.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3796BE12475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
