The Humanist In the Bathtub by Mary McCarthy
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I have to respect McCarthy's accomplishments as a novelist. But, her lengthy forays into collegiate women ("The Vassar Girl"), sexual politics in an evasive if not pointless rambling ("Tyranny of the Orgasm") and exegesis of the mechanics of novel writing ("The Fact in Fiction", "Characters in Fiction") is for a reader of another time and another mind, if not another gender.
