This is a lovely collection of essays written by Mary McCarthy.

It ranges from reviews of plays to books to politics to travel. McCarthy definitely had an interesting take on life and literature.

I really enjoyed reading many of the essays. Some I couldn't connect to because they were reviews of plays I haven't seen in any form, let alone the form she saw. But I did appreciate her views and appreciated how she often was able to weave several things together in her writing.

Overall, I felt like my time reading this was well spent and worth it!
