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 \u003ci\u003eThe Heart Is a Lonely Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Member of the Wedding.\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of South Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040752648432,"sku":"9781570036156","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781570036156_p0.jpg?v=1763766536","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781570036156","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
