Scoundrel Time by Lillian Hellman review
The piece reviews Lillian Hellman’s Scoundrel Time noting its memoir form and focus on the McCarthy era. It highlights Hellman’s personal stance, memories of Hollywood figures, and the book’s aim to show how Cold War pressures affected a person without deep political belief. The critique argues the work is a personal meditation rather than pure ideology or history.
