Mary McCarthy   How I Grew-我的成长史

作者：Mary McCarthy  

书名：How I Grew《我的成长史》  

英文简介：How I Grew is Mary McCarthy’s intensely personal autobiography of her life from age thirteen to twenty-one.

Orphaned at six, McCarthy was raised by her maternal grandparents in Seattle, Washington. Although her official birthdate is in 1912, it wasn’t until she turned thirteen that, in McCarthy’s own words, she was “born as a mind.” With detail driven by an almost astonishing memory recall, McCarthy gives us a masterful account of these formative years. From her wild adolescence—including losing her virginity at fourteen—through her eventual escape to Vassar, the bestselling novelist, essayist, and critic chronicles her relationships with family, friends, lovers, and the teachers who would influence her writing career.
