Carson McCullers: Stories, Plays & Other Writings (The Library of America)

Celebrated worldwide for her masterly novels, Carson McCullersÂ was equally accomplished, and equally moving, when writingÂ in shorter forms. This Library of America volume bringsÂ together for the first time her twenty extraordinary stories,Â along with plays, essays, memoirs, and poems. Here are theÂ indelible tales â€œMadame Zilensky and the King of Finlandâ€Â and â€œA Tree. A Rock. A Cloud.â€ as well as her previouslyÂ uncollected story about the civil rights movement, â€œTheÂ Marchâ€; her award- winning Broadway play The Member ofÂ the Wedding and the unpublished teleplay The Sojourner;Â twenty-two essays; and the revealing unfinished memoirÂ Illumination and Night Glare. This wide-ranging gatheringÂ of shorter works reveals new depths and dimensions of theÂ writer whom V. S. Pritchett praised for her â€œcourageousÂ imaginationâ€”one that is bold enough to consider the terribleÂ in human nature without loss of nerve, calm, dignity, or love.â€
