In the course of a dissertation on cooking, she quotes a parody of Goethe's Werther: "Charlotte, having seen his body/ Borne before her on a shutter,/ Like a well-conducted person,/ Went on cutting bread and butter." Charlotte was a lady after the author's art. Let violence and fatuities pass in review; the well-conducted Mary McCarthy will watch and then slice them into appropriate pieces. Books and events have always been her bread and butter...
