Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week'This is such a great idea for a book, and Michelle Dean carries it off, showing us the complexities of her fascinating, extraordinary subjects, in print and out in the world. Dean writes with vigor, depth, knowledge and absorption, and as a result Sharp is a real achi…evement' Meg Wolitzer, New York TimesDorothy Parker, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron and Janet Malcolm are just some of the women whose lives intertwined as they cut through twentieth-century cultural and intellectual life in the United States, arguing as fervently with each other as they did with the men who so often belittled their work as journalists, novelists, critics and poets. These women are united by their 'sharpness': an accuracy and precision of thought and wit, a claiming of power through their writing.Sharp is a rich and lively portrait of these women and their world, where Manhattan cocktail parties, fuelled by lethal quantities of both alcohol and gossip, could lead to high-stakes slanging matches in the Partisan Review or the New York Review of Books. It is fascinating and revealing on how these women came to be so influential in a climate in which they were routinely met with condescension and derision by their male counterparts.Michelle Dean mixes biography, criticism and cultural and social history to create an enthralling exploration of how a group of brilliant women became central figures in the world of letters, staked out territory for themselves and began to change the world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First published in Great Britain in 2018 by Fleet. 363pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "Dorothy Parker, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron and Janet Malcolm are just some of the women whose lives intertwi…ned as they cut through twentieth-century cultural and intellectual life in the United States, arguing as fervently with each other as they did with the men who so often belittled their work as journalists, novelists, critics and poets. These women are united by their 'sharpness': an accuracy and precision of thought and wit, a claiming of power through their writing. [] SHARP is a rich and lively portrait of these women and their world, where Manhattan cocktail parties, fueled by lethal quantities of both alcohol and gossip, could lead to high-stakes slanging matches in the Partisan Review or the New York Review of Books. It is fascinating and revealing on how these women came to be so influential in a climate in which they were routinely met with condescension and derision by their male counterparts. [] Michelle Dean mixes biography, criticism and cultural and social history to create an enthralling exploration of how a group of women became central figures in the world of letters, staked out territory for themselves and began to change the world." [jacket copy] "Michelle Dean has delivered an exquisite examination--both rigorous and compassionate--of what it has meant to be a woman with a public voice and the power to use it critically. This book is ferociously good."--Rebecca Traister. "A beautifully written, well-researched and much needed correction to criticism's historical record. . . Dean navigates from one layer to the next with grace. It amazes to think that this is her first book."--Amy Brady, Dallas Morning News. "I have to recommend Michelle Dean's SHARP: THE WOMEN WHO MADE AN ART OF HAVING AN OPINION, a delicious cultural history that comes out in April. It brings together some of the most influential social critics of the 20th century, including Dorothy Parker, Mary McCarthy, Hannah Arendt, Susan Sontag and Joan Didion, [Rebecca West, Pauline Kael, Renata Adler] and shows how these glamorous iconoclasts forged their singular careers. Dean makes the convincing argument that women's voices--if not necessarily feminist ones--did far more to define the last century's intellectual life than we realize."--Michelle Goldberg, New York Times. "For aspiring writers especially, these women are required reading."--Christian Lorentzen, New York. Fine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright NF (intact, but w/a tiny blemish) jacket, all quite presentable.
