Scoundrel Time (Paperback, 1st Back Bay paperback ed)

Foreword by Kathy Bates

Lillian Hellman is remembered not only as an accomplished playwright, an acclaimed memoirist, and an irrepressible curmudgeon, but as a controversial figure during the early days of the McCarthy era. In 1952, her refusal to become an informer for the House Un-American Activities Committee earned her a mix of respect and disdain, as well as a place on the Hollywood blacklist.

This remarkable chronicle, the third and final volume of Hellman's memoirs, is a powerful evocation of her experiences during that volatile period. The cast of characters includes her lover, the writer Dashiell Hammett; a slew of famous friends and colleagues; and a legendary pack of "scoundrels"-ruthless, ambitious politicians and the people who complied with their demands. Scoundrel Time is vintage Hellman: iconoclastic and enduring.
