About This Item
Hardback. New. In an appearance on "The Dick Cavett Show" in 1980, the critic Mary McCarthy glibly remarked that every word author Lillian Hellman wrote was a lie, 'including 'and' and 'the'. This book offers a many-faceted examination of Hellman's infamous suit and explores what it tells us about tensions between privacy and self-expression.
