Witty and sophisticated American writer and theater critic, oted for her satirical commentaries on marriage, intellectuals, and the role of women. Her novels were often drawn from autobiographical sources; she put friends, enemies, ex-husbands, thinly disguised, into her fiction. Her bestselling novel, THE GROUP (1963), was about her classmates at Vassar and their subsequent lives. Her seven novels appeared between the years 1942 and 1979. Most of her fiction and nonfiction explored the response of intellectuals to political and moral problems. Her attraction to Communism ended in 1936-37, but in the mid-1960s she re-emerged as a political essayist, writing against the Vietnam War. UNCLUED

The poet Robert Lowell praised him as "the best journalist in America", but what he thought of his fiction was left open.

Willing believes, that "every criminal leaves psychic fingerprints, and he can't wear gloves to hide them." He appeared in 12 of her novels and in several of her short stories. She often used the theme of doppelgänger, but in the end of the story she showed a psychological or realistic explanation for the seemingly supernatural events.
