Carson McCullers was a diverse and multitalented writer who produced two plays and numerous short stories, essays, and poems. But it is her fiction, including The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, The Member of the Wedding, and The Ballad of the Sad Café, that established her as a key voice of the 1940s and '50s. Critics have praised her lyrical evocations of the yearning for love, always tempered by a harsh acknowledgment of the futility of the quest. This edition of full-length critical essays offers illuminating discussions of McCullers’s work and its place in the American canon. This latest title in the Bloom’s Modern Critical Views series is bolstered by a chronology, a bibliography, notes on the contributors, and an introduction from noted literary scholar Harold Bloom.

Industry Reviews
"A publishing venture almost without precedent both in its scope and in the fact that it is guided by a single critical intelligence."
"Harold Bloom adds some fantastic critical literary guides, providing interpretations and issues that should reach a wide audience from adults to young adults at the high school and college levels."
"The accounts offer students an opportunity to absorb serious analytical styles."
