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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVirginia Spencer Carr\u003c\/b\u003e was honored with the Southern Historical Association's Francis Butler Simkins Prize for her biography of Carson McCullers, \u003ci\u003eThe Lonely Hunter, \u003c\/i\u003e and the Council of Authors and Journalists Nonfiction Prize for her biography of John Dos Passos, \u003ci\u003eDos Passos: A Life.\u003c\/i\u003e Both volumes were named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize.
