About The Author
Carson McCullers
Carson McCullers was born in 1917. She is the critically acclaimed author of several popular novels in the 1940s and ‘50s, including The Member of the Wedding (1946). Her novels frequently depicted life in small towns of the southeastern United States and were marked by themes of loneliness and spiritual isolation. McCullers suffered from ill health most of her adult life, including a series of strokes that began when she was in her 20s; she died at the age of 50. The Member of the Wedding was dramatized for the stage in the 1950s and filmed in 1952 and 1997. Other films based on her books are Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967), The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968) and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1991).
