The Oasis
Author(s): Vivian Gornick (Introduction by); Mary McCarthy
Mary McCarthy's long-out-of-print second book satirises the everyday struggles of a utopian commune seeking refuge after the destruction of the Second World War. She hardly troubles to disguise her characters - causing an outrage among the literary elite of the day, who did not fail to recognise themselves among her uncharitably, but all-too-accurately drawn portraits.
