Understanding Carson McCullers (Understanding Contemporary American Literature) by Virginia Spencer Carr

Understanding Carson McCullers (Understanding Contemporary American Literature)

Virginia Spencer Carr

Updated with a discussion of recent scholarship, Understanding Carson McCullers provides a balanced introductory study of the Georgia-born novelist’s major fiction and the reasons for her extraordinary and lasting acclaim. Carson McCullers was deemed the ‘find of the decade’ when she appeared on the literary scene at the age of twenty-three and is best remembered for her celebrated novels The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter and The Member of the Wedding. Through Virginia Spencer Carr’s insightful discussion and lucid analysis of these and lesser-known works, McCullers is shown here as more than a southern writer, more than a lesbian novelist. McCullers emerges as a complex and multifaceted artist not yet fully comprehended and deserving of more contemplative study and thoughtful understanding.
