McCuller's unique voice haunts after others are silenced. - By: , 03 Jan 2002
We know that Tennessee Williams, Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote & others wrote about America & the Deep South. Yet it is Carson McCuller's unique voice that haunts long after the others are silenced, for no other writer has plumbed the depths of loneliness as profoundly as McCuller, or encapsulated the suffering caused by the Deep South's singular sense of displacement. Searingly insightful & heartrending; exquisitely agonizing in her compassion for flawed humanity; hauntingly unforgettable, her novels test & test again the ultimate resources of the human spirit. And in the testing we find that the spirit is unquenchable.
