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, \u003cem\u003eSeeing Mary Plain\u003c\/em\u003e is rich in ironic judgment and eloquent testimony.
