"In Carson McCullers: A Life, Josyane Savigneau gives us a biography of one of America's greatest women novelists. Carson McCuller's life story rivals the plot of any of her novels. A brillant, sensitive artist who had a painful small-town childhood in the South and early international success, she was crippled by a mysterious disease in early adulthood. A woman who composed the most romantic of letters, she struggled to find lasting happiness with her husband, Reeves, whom she married twice. Carson wrote often of the loneliness of the human condition and yet she surrounded herself with a constellation of witty, always entertaining celebrities: Katherine Anne Porter, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Richard Wright, John Huston and Edward Albee, among others."--BOOK JACKET.
