RE: The Group by Mary McCarthy
I found an excellent article on the Guardian's website that talks about various reactions to The Group when it was published and how Mary McCarthy felt about it. I hadn't realised it caused so much controversy; it was even banned in Australia.
Mary McCarthy led an interesting life by all accounts. There's a biography cited in the above article that I think I'll add to my wish list. |

Hi Kylie, I have this book on my wish list so I'd love to join. Will order the book asap (as good an excuse as any to buy another book :smile2: ) And it's great to join in a "Rory read" - I LOVE the Gilmore Girls

RE: The Group by Mary McCarthy
Well, I've just finished it. I've put my comments in my reading blog for now, as I want to wait until some of the other readers have finished it so I don't spoil anything here for the moment.

RE: The Group by Mary McCarthy
I finished it yesterday, and enjoyed it all the way to the end. I was interested in all the characters and their stories, and didn't find it quite as hair-raising as I thought it might be from the comments!
