My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir by Jenn Shapland
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
I am now feverishly searching my shelves for the McCullers books I thought I owned (I should at least have The Heart is a Lonely Hunter with my college books???)
I was so happy to hear about this book and about someone else that held a special place for McCullers in their life. If you've ever been interested in McCullers or touched by her work, you need to read this.
More importantly, somehow, as a 30 year old happily married queer woman, this book found me at just the right time. I needed to remember the process of finding and owning my queerness. And how much literature was instrumental in that process.
This book is definitely worth your time and energy.
