Description

Seeing Mary Plain: A Life of Mary McCarthyFrom her Partisan Review days to her controversial success as the author of The Group, to an epic libel battle with Lillian Hellman, Mary McCarthy brought a nineteenth century scope and drama to her emblematic twentieth century life. Dubbed by Time as "quite possibly the cleverest woman America has ever produced," McCarthy moved in a circle of ferociously sharp tongued intellectuals all of whom had plenty to say about this diamond in their midst.

From her Partisan Review days to her controversial success as the author of The Group, to an epic libel battle with Lillian Hellman, Mary McCarthy brought a nineteenth-century scope and drama to her emblematic twentieth-century life. Dubbed by Time as "quite possibly the cleverest woman America has ever produced," McCarthy moved in a circle of ferociously sharp-tongued intellectuals all of whom had plenty to say about this diamond in their midst. Frances Kiernan's biography does justice to one of the most controversial American intellectuals of the twentieth century. With interviews from dozens of McCarthy's friends, former lovers, literary and political comrades-in-arms, awestruck admirers, amused observers, and bitter adversaries, Seeing Mary Plain is rich in ironic judgment and eloquent testimony. A Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2000 and a Washington Post Book World "Rave.""

Recommended for Seniors, Not for Chewers
Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Pork Sausage
My 12lb dog loves Playology toys because of the long-lasting scent that's stimulating for her (even though I can't detect the smell). I got this toy because I wanted to add a different texture to her toy bin since most of her toys are rope & plush. Unfortunately, after only 10 minutes of playing with this toy, she managed to tear the pieces of the rubber off and I had to take it away so she doesn't choke on the pieces that were breaking off. Now I see why this toy's recommended for senior dogs. Definitely not recommended for active dogs or heavy chewers.

Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Peanut Butter
My pup absolutely loves it and it's helping him with teething. It doesn't break off in a bunch of big pieces, just tiny pieces. He spits out the little pieces thankfully! Very well made and smells appetizing to dogs! It definitely helps clean his teeth & the rest of his mouth!

Peanut butter flavored only -
I have bought several of these bones in the past. All my previous purchases were the bacon flavored and we loved them. They gave my dog hours of chewing pleasure with no mess. My most recent purchase was the peanut butter flavored bone, it is a mess; with little to no effort it breaks in to small crumbly pieces and creates a huge mess. In less than 24 hours there is little left but the mess. I threw the remainder away!

My puppy loves this bone and it lasts a long time.
My puppy enjoys chewing this sturdy bone. I worry about him ingesting the wood, but he seems fine.
