A "deeply researched and uncommonly engrossing" book profiling ten trailblazing literary women, including Dorothy Parker and Joan Didion (
Paris Review).
In
Sharp, Michelle Dean explores the lives of ten women of vastly different backgrounds and points of view who all made a significant contribution to the cultural and intellectual history of America. These women-Dorothy Parker, Rebecca West, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron, Renata Adler, and Janet Malcolm-are united by what Dean calls "sharpness," the ability to cut to the quick with precision of thought and wit.
Sharp is a vibrant depiction of the intellectual
beau monde of twentieth-century New York, where gossip-filled parties gave out to literary slugging-matches in the pages of the
Partisan Review or the
New York Review of Books. It is also a passionate portrayal of how these women asserted themselves through their writing despite the extreme condescension of the male-dominated cultural establishment.
Mixing biography, literary criticism, and cultural history,
Sharp is a celebration of this group of extraordinary women, an engaging introduction to their works, and a testament to how anyone who feels powerless can claim the mantle of writer, and, perhaps, change the world.
