More About
Although Laskin reports Elizabeth Bishop's crushing verdict on this episode—"art just isn't worth that much"—he never truly reckons with this question in the lives of the writers under his glass. Then again, it may be that he doesn't speak for women at all. McCarthy's many veiled depictions in her fiction of her tortured marriage to Wilson are never viewed in so transcendent a light as Lowell's betrayal. Perhaps for Laskin it takes a man to go all the way, pierce the membrane between private and public, and really score as an artist.
