Dorothy Parker, Rebecca West, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron, Renata Adler, and Janet Malcolm—these brilliant women are the central figures of Sharp. Their lives intertwine as they cut through the cultural and intellectual history of America in the twentieth century, arguing as fervently with each other as they did with the sexist attitudes of the men who often undervalued their work as critics and essayists. These women are united by what Dean terms as “sharpness,” the ability to cut to the quick with precision of thought and wit, a claiming of power through writing rather than position.
Sharp is a vibrant and rich depiction of the intellectual beau monde of twentieth-century New York, where gossip-filled parties at night gave out to literary slanging-matches in the pages of the Partisan Review or the New York Review of Books as well as a considered portrayal of how these women came to be so influential in a climate where women were treated with derision by the critical establishment.
Mixing biography, literary criticism, and cultural history, Sharp is an enthralling exploration of how a group of brilliant women became central figures in the world of letters despite the many obstacles facing them, a testament to how anyone not in a position of power can claim the mantle of writer and, perhaps, help change the world.

一位名叫兰德尔・贾雷尔( R andall Jarrell)的诗人朋友称阿伦特和布吕歇尔为“二元君主”。虽然他们二人有时会很高傲,但这个说法的本意不是为了强调他们的高傲,而是要指出布吕歇尔和阿伦特都可以从他们之间的讨论中获得可观的力量的这个事实。他们谁也不是谁的主宰,虽然在美国的那些年里,阿伦特通常是家庭收入的主要来源,但他们的婚姻是在一种自然平等的关系下运行的,就算布吕歇尔偶有不忠,这种平衡总体上并没有受到破坏。 (查看原文)

"journalism by women is the price the man's world pays for having disappointed them. Here at their best are the unforgiving eye, the unforgetting ear, the concealed hat-pin style"
最近读Michelle Dean的Sharp,前三分之一中有两段忍不住笑出声,非常有共鸣。一段是写Rebecca West: Somehow she was always at her most charming when she was disagreeing with someone.” 一段是写阿伦特: It was during this period that she wrote a lot of poems, bad ...

Now I understand where the cultural eminence of the New Yorker mag has come from but then it’s obviously not as serious and intellectual anymore
