Biographical History
American essayist and novelist who served as editor of the PARTISAN REVIEW (1937-1938).
American critic and novelist.
Born in Seattle on June 21, 1912, Mary McCarthy was the eldest of four children born to Roy and Therese McCarthy. Orphaned upon their parents’ deaths in the flu epidemic of 1918, Mary and her brothers eventually found refuge with their maternal grandparents in Seattle.
Following her graduation from Vassar College in 1933, McCarthy, intending to pursue a literary career, moved to New York City, where she soon attracted attention for her essays and dramatic criticism. In the late 1930s she began to write short stories, several of which served as the nucleus of her first novel, The Company She Keeps, published in 1942.
As one of the major figures in contemporary American cultural and political thought, Mary McCarthy wrote widely in fiction ( The Oasis, Cast a Cold Eye, The Groves of Academe ), theater criticism ( Mary McCarthy’s Theatre Chronicles, 1937-1962 ), memoir ( Memories of a Catholic Girlhood and How I Grew ), and broad-ranging commentary ( Venice Observed and The Mask of State: Watergate Portraits ). She also taught in the United States and in Britain.
Until her death on October 25, 1989, Mary McCarthy maintained a reputation for unflinching candor, biting wit, and literary grace as her writing gained and (sometimes) provoked a wide readership. Her novel The Group (1963), a fictional account of the lives of several members of the Vassar class of 1933, was her major popular success, first as a best-seller, and then as a motion picture.
Biographical Note: Mary McCarthy was an American author.
She was born in Seattle, Washington, June 21, 1912. She graduated from Vassar College in 1933 and began her writing career soon afterwards. She was successful as novelist, short-story writer, memoirist, essayist, and critic. Miss McCarthy died in New York city, October 25, 1989.
