Über den Autor
Mary McCarthy was an American novelist, critic and political activist. Her debut novel, The Company She Keeps, launched her career as one of the most celebrated writers of her generation, a reputation bolstered by her controversial 1963 novel The Group, which topped the New York Times bestseller list for almost two years and was banned in several countries for its frank portrayal of female sexuality. McCarthy was married four times. She died in 1989.
