Description:


Born in Kentucky, Elizabeth Hardwick boarded a Greyhound bus for New York City in 1939 and quickly made a name for herself as a formidable member of the intellectual elite. Her eventful life included stretches of dire poverty; lasting friendships with literary luminaries (among them, Mary McCarthy); dustups with authors she eviscerated in the New York Review of Books (of which she was a cofounder); and marriage to the poet Robert Lowell?whom she adored, standing by faithfully through his episodes of bipolar illness. Lowell's decision to publish excerpts from her private letters in The Dolphin greatly distressed Hardwick and ignited a major literary controversy.


Hardwick imbued her essays with a novelistic flair and a wholly original outlook. In A Splendid Intelligence, biographer Cathy Curtis offers an intimate portrait of an exceptional woman who emerged from a long, turbulent marriage with the clarity and wisdom that illuminate her brilliant work.

The liner of the shirt can be unsightly with the neck worn open
Color: Black-polka Dots, Size: XX-Large
Be warned, if you get black, the shirt may actually be white inside.  I ordered the black with white poka dots.  The shirt was nice enough an would have looked okay completely buttoned to the top, however, if you wear the neck open like the model shows in the photos, the shirt is not like that.  The shirt has an unsightly white liner which totally shows if you wear the neck unbuttoned at all.

The shirts run true to size and are very well made.
Color: Wine Red-polka Dots, Size: 3X-Large
I want the company COOFANDY and the customers who are considering buying these men's wrinkle free men's shirts for casual business wear, to know that the shirts are beautiful. The material is perfect, and they are made exceptionally well! One of the two shirts that I bought for my husband looks great on him. I had to buy one in a size 2x and one in a size 3x due to the reviews on Amazon's website, where so many of the reviewers stated that the size that they bought ran too small, while other reviewers said the shirt runs too large. My husband tried on the 2x, and it fit him perfectly, which was great because he always wears a 2x. The reason that I am returning them both is that these shirts are tuck-in shirts, and my husband only wears shirts that do not have to be tucked in, such as straight-bottom shirts. I showed him the picture of the shirt in the ad to prove that the models wore them out, not tucked in, but he said the style is wrong for wearing this shirt on the outside, and that he would not be able to wear it. I am so sorry, but I had to return them as he would not ever wear them. But I wanted you, COOFANDY, and your customers to know that the shirts are well worth the money and are just beautiful!

Perfect fit for my husband
Color: Army Green, Size: Large
Very thick but it's cool, comfortable, no shrinking when washed and no fading. Love this color and the quality of material for the price is top of the line. I will be ordering other colors. My husband really enjoys wearing this and it fits perfectly. Thank you for the excellent work.
