Talk:Mary McCarthy (author)

message: :but by the latter half of the decade she had repudiated Soviet Union-style expressing solidarity with Leon Trotsky after the Moscow Trials, 
Does this clause mean anything? And if so, what? I shall be recasting to my best guess as to the intended meaning.
: It looks like this is the product of a random deletion back in March.  The line originally read:
:: "but by the latter half of the decade she had repudiated Soviet Union-style Communism, expressing solidarity with Leon Trotsky after the Moscow Trials[...]"

*"'Support'"--Mary Therese McCarthy (author) will likely remain the primary object of interest.  It it worth noting that the author has already indured a number of such identity trials including conflation with a Hollywood screenwriter.
*Weak oppose -- As long as a proper dab page exists, there's no problem with this article having its new, "qualified" title. Atlant 11:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment:  It should be noted that, contrary to the information provided in the header for this straw poll, the McCarthy from the CIA is not out of the news.  In fact, there was a large article about her in the Washington Post just yesterday. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 13:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Sigh...the author is clearly the primary usage.  But I suppose the previous poll was too recent.  If someone refers to "Mary McCarthy" without any context, it's going to be the author, not some minor figure from the news.  john k 13:20, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Why? The one on this biographical page provides a classic example of the stupid editting promoted by boxes. Ever detail of where this woman died and what she died of is inside that box. Well, I suppose that her death is a verifiable fact! However the box tells me nothing whatsoever that I need to know. I can get the birth and death dates and nationality from the first line of the intro. 
So the box presents lung cancer as the most significant event in a productive life! Amandajm (talk) 07:21, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

message: In the wiki page for The Company She Keeps, McCarthy’s autobiography Memories of a Catholic Girlhood is described as her best-known work. Yet the link on this page only clicks-back to the listing. Somebody might care to generate a dedicated page for this book. Valetude (talk) 12:15, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Ms. McCarthy did not die at "NewYork Presbyterian Hospital" as her death was years before the merger.  She died at either New York Hospital or Presbyterian Hospital and the article should specify which.  72.105.78.189 (talk) 02:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

message: Mary McCarthy and Edmund Wilson had a son, Reuel Wilson.  Reuel Wilson wrote a memoir of life with his parents: Holding the Road: Away from Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2019).
