Needless to say, any book that gathers well-thought, professional essays on Carson McCullers' writing/thought is essential reading for any literary scholar. While not inexpense, it contains journal articles that the reader would not be able to obtain otherwise, or if so, at much greater cost.

A word of advice---Ignore the first review. It was obviously written by someone looking for an easy fix to a classroom assignment. No plot? Well---I guess that's because it's a book of essays written ABOUT McCullers work. The author HATES McCullers for having written it? She didn't. It's a series of essays analyzing McCullers' work. The collection was gathered (that is edited) by Clark and Friedman. If you want critical work about McCullers instead of the ramblings of someone who obviously put no thought or knowledge into a response, get this book.

NEVER EVER READ THIS BOOK! This is the worst book in the world. It has no plot and no action what so ever. I can't believe people would read this book for pleasure. I only read it because I had to write an essay on it. I am never going to read any of Carson Mccullers other books and I would strongly recomend you not to either. It is poorly written and I hate Carson Mccullers for writing it!
