    I recently read "Ballad of the Sad Cafe" and was blown away by her writing. The atmosphere evoked by so few words - and the descriptions of people, places and moments left me wanting to read more of her works. Thank you for your brief and insightful presentation about this remarkable talented writer.

    Very compassionate and helpful. She is one of my favorite writers. I am now chronically ill myself; I feel less lonely to hear this.

    I have the privilege of living in a garret in the Carson McCullers House. The solitude here nurtures my work as a storyteller. There are no ghosts, but this place haunts the soul with McCuller's presence. The walls and windows to the ever-moving Hudson conspire.

      You are indeed fortunate to be in the presence of her essence...when I read her work, there is an undercurrent of empathy, kindness and love for people and their suffering. Best Wishes to you and your story-telling!

    I read this novel maybe 30 years ago or more and I found it very profound as each character searches for understanding and meaning in their lives. Singer, in some ways, is a God figure who they can mold into a personal deity.
    It certainly is one of the great novels of the 20th century and its themes mirror the struggles of living in the modern world.
    This was a wonderful summation of Carson's life. Thanks for your video!!

    I’m a prose poet working on my first novel. It mirrors Ray Bradbury’s stitched together novel style. With this out of the way let me say I feel blessed to have learned writers like Carson exist, and they all share one of the many diseases that bless, curse, and ultimately destroy the writer….loneliness, feeling unloved. God bless you Carson. You’re not unloved and I pray you have forgotten what loneliness feels like or means, and how you have helped keep this writer from killing himself.
    And good upload 🙂

    Years ago, I read all of her fiction and a biography of her, and I considered "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" and "Ballad of a Sad Cafe" to be the best among her works. Both seemed to me to be highly original, striking, memorable, unique.

      Blount was my favourite character. Have you read Steinbeck's The Wayward Bus?

    McCullers had many friends in communities of artists in New York. I think this presentation may somewhat overstate her own sense of isolation.

    Watching, and reading Heart. The room acoustics are too hard for this.

    Flexion of a gold and I if I’m remembering correctly was made into a film and if not mistaken Richard Burton played in that movie I want to say Elizabeth was in it with them but I’m not quite sure about that

      Reflections Of A Golden Eye needs to be read, not watched.

    If she lived in todays time she wouldn’t have been a great writer for obvious reasons strange how these weirdos think they’re lonely when in reality you have no idea what loneliness is
