About the author

Carson McCullers

194 books3,249 followers
Carson McCullers was an American novelist, short-story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Her first novel, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940), explores the spiritual isolation of misfits and outcasts in a small town of the Southern United States. Her other novels have similar themes. Most are set in the Deep South.
McCullers's work is often described as Southern Gothic and indicative of her Southern roots. Critics also describe her writing and eccentric characters as universal in scope. Her stories have been adapted to stage and film. A stage adaptation of her novel The Member of the Wedding (1946), which captures a young girl's feelings at her brother's wedding, made a successful Broadway run in 1950–51.

pas mal pas mal
tous les personnages sont attachants j'ai une préférence pour Mick. Mr Singer a beaucoup de mystère et je trouve ça dommage qu'on en sache pas davantage sur lui
c'est sympa malgré quelques longueurs
