McCullers, (Lula) Carson 1917–1967

An American novelist, short story writer, poet, and playwright, McCullers is considered one of the most skilled authors of the southern gothic tradition. Noted for her fine dramatic sense of detail, McCullers dealt thematically with concepts of alienation and loneliness. The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is her best known work.
