Good ref.from Time, found in Worldcat. [1] Normally, being translated into multiple langs. shows notability. DGG (talk) 05:25, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't disputing that she had written the books. However, when you filter out the other "Mary McCarthy's", there is virtually nothing on this author. Generally there will be a decent bio by a publisher somewhere. Your ref above is minimal. Keep it but it is weak! Cheers! --Stormbay (talk) 16:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
