      About This Book

      "Essential reading for any serious beginning writer . . . illuminating." —San Francisco Chronicle

      Carson McCullers is renowned for her Southern Gothic fiction and for such modern classics as The Member of the Wedding. This collection includes an assortment of her earliest work, written mostly before she was nineteen.


       


      Included are stories, essays, articles, poems, and writing about writing—including the working outline of "The Mute," which would become her bestselling novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter—as well as an introduction by Joyce Carol Oates. As new generations continue to discover the work of Carson McCullers, this volume provides both an enjoyable read and an inspiring look at the beginning of a brilliant literary career.
