...making hers a lost-and-found generation novel. In the pages of The Malefactors, the mourning after the big Paris binge becomes a kind of purgatory on the road to religious serenity. In keeping with its semi-autobiographic overtones (Author Gordon and her poet-critic-novelist husband, Alien Tate, are recent Roman Catholic converts), this book is one of those Mary McCarthy-like exercises in intellectual cattiness in which one claws one's literary coterie in public...
