Description
Carson McCullers (February 19, 1917 - September 29, 1967) was an American author who wrote novels, short stories, and two plays, as well as essays and some poetry. Her first novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter explores the spiritual isolation of misfits and outcasts of the American South. McCullers's work is often described as "Southern Gothic," but she produced her famous works after leaving the South. Her eccentric characters suffer from loneliness that is interpreted with deep empathy. She suffered throughout her life from illness, alcoholism and depression. Carl Van Vechten, 1959.
