[Rarebooks] FS: Stevie Smith Disses Mary McCarthy

[Charles Agvent]

SMITH, Stevie. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS). London, 3 January 1943. A 
two-page TYPED LETTER SIGNED in pencil on both sides of a 4" x 4-5/8" 
sheet of Tower House stationery to poet Douglas Newton. Mostly a chatty 
letter about getting together but with a fine conclusion: "I got THE 
COMPANY SHE KEEPS [Mary McCarthy] for review and read every word. I 
think it is clever but horrible. There is something embarrassing about 
it that I find also sometimes in Rosamund Lehmann. ('sometimes' for 
politeness). Ha ha. I think [William] Plomer's DOUBLE LIVES is a fine 
book and the right way to write about yourself." Usual fold from 
mailing. About Fine. (#019480)        $500.00
