Inscription reads "For dear Ferineg, I'm so glad that Columbus, Georgia, brought us together--and that Carson McCullers was was the prime mover--but mostly, I'm pleased that you are my friend. With much love, Virginia, 23 April 1982. The book Includes A Note from the Author, Some Words Before by American Playwright Tennessee Williams, Notes, Genealogies, A Chronology of Carson Smith McCullers, Bibliography, Index, and Picture Credits. Virginia Spencer Carr (July 21, 1929 - April 10, 2012) was a biographer of Carson McCullers, John Dos Passos and Paul Bowles. Carr was also a college professor for more than 25 years at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia, and Georgia State University in Atlanta. This biography captures Carson McCullers in all her enigmatic beauty, tracing her passionate wanderings from her childhood in Columbus, Georgia, to her frenetic years as a prima donna of New York literary circles, to her interludes as a resident in Europe. Paralyzed and crippled in later years by a series of violent strokes which left her an invalid, on an off, for the rest of her life, she overcame those handicaps to produce stunning literary works, including The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and The Member of the Wedding. Carson McCullers (February 19, 1917 - September 29, 1967) was an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Her first novel, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, explores the spiritual isolation of misfits and outcasts in a small town of the Southern United States. Her other novels have similar themes and most are set in the deep South. McCullers' 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.

Auden, David Diamond, Jordan Massee, Carson McCullers, 600, illus., notes, genealogies, chronology, bibliography, index, DJ worn, soiled, edge tears/chips. Contains a short essay, entitled "Some Words Before" by Tennessee Williams. The Lonely Hunter is widely accepted as the standard biography of Carson McCullers. Author of such landmarks of modern American fiction as Reflections in a Golden Eye and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, Carson McCullers was the enfant terrible of the literary world of the 1940s and 1950s. Gifted but tormented, vulnerable but exploitative, McCullers led a life that had all the elements--and more--of a tragic novel. From McCullers's birth in Columbus, Georgia, in 1917 to her death in upstate NewYork in 1967, The Lonely Hunter thoroughly covers every significant event in, and aspect of, the writer's life: her rise as a young literary sensation; her emotional, artistic, and sexual eccentricities and entanglements; her debilitating illnesses; her travels in America and Europe; and the provenance of her works from their earliest drafts through their book, stage, and film versions. To research her subject, Virginia Spencer Carr visited all of the important places in McCullers' life, read virtually everything written by or about her, and interviewed hundreds of McCullers' relatives, friends, and enemies. The result is an enduring, distinguished portrait of a brilliant, but deeply troubled, writer. , Garden City, NY, [PU: Doubleday & Company, Inc]<
