Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
McCullers, (Lula) Carson (1917–1967)US novelist. Most of her writing, including the novels The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1940) and Reflections in a Golden Eye (1941), is set in her native South. Her work, like that of Flannery O'Connor, has been characterized as ‘Southern Gothic’ for its images of the grotesque, using physical abnormalities to project the spiritual and psychological distortions of Southern experience. Her other works include her novel, The Member of the Wedding 1946, which was also a stage success, and the novella The Ballad of the Sad Café 1951. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Having found herself listening to books on tape with greater frequency lately, she cites good friend Cherry Jones' rendering of the Carson McCullers novel ``The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter'' as a vocal tour de force. It was like flipping pages in the List of Lights and suddenly finding yourself reading a Carson McCullers novel: narrow streets edged with small, clearly historical buildings; friendly, helpful people; even a few wisps of Spanish moss on the over-arching tree boughs. Carson McCullers (Historically Inaccurate), coproduced by Playwrights Horizons and the Women's Project and Productions, runs through February 3. |
