McCullers was just 23 years old when The Heart is a Lonely Hunter received nearly-unanimous acclaim, catapulting her to literary stardom. Fans of Harper Lee’s —which was published a decade later—will find some similarities between the two novels. The highlight is McCullers’ Scout-like protagonist Mick Kelly, a music-loving tomboy in 1930s Georgia. Mick is fascinated by John Singer—a deaf-mute and an almost mystical local figure—and this fascination connects her with other members of her town. Among them is diner owner Biff Brannon, the opinionated drunk Jake Blount, and Dr. Benedict Mady—a black man who dreams of a better future for his people. Their separate narratives form one central story about community, hope, love, and loneliness that is now one of the most beloved 20th century novels.
The Mortgaged Heart is comprised of stories, poems, and essays that McCullers wrote in her late teens. Perhaps the most notable entry is “The Mute,” a story that eventually evolved into The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. But there are other enjoyable inclusions as well: 'Wunkerkind,' the story of a failing musical prodigy, was her first published work. “In Like That” sees a tomboy resist the restrictions imposed by her encroaching womanhood, while “Court in the West Eighties” features a Rear Window-esque plot in which a woman observes her neighbors from afar. Altogether, the collection offers a glimpse of McCullers’ earliest writing days, innate talent, and affinity for outsider heroes and heroines. This collection also includes a variety of McCullers stories, but the standouts are the much-loved “The Member of the Wedding” and “The Ballad of the Sad Cafe.” The former is a heartwarming coming-of-age tale about 12-year-old Frankie, whose obsession with her brother’s wedding stems from her own restlessness and loneliness.
The latter follows the goings-on of a Southern cafe, with its owner—the formidable Miss Amelia—as its centerpiece. Both novellas are essential parts of the McCullers canon, and represent some of her best, most affecting work.
By the time Carson started Reflections in a Golden Eye, her health had taken a turn for the worse. Originally a Harper’s Bazaar serial, it found a formal publisher in 1941, following the success of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Unfortunately, some critics felt it didn’t live up to its predecessor, while others were scandalized by its content: The book revolves around Captain Weldon Penderton, a closeted bisexual living with his adulterous wife, Leonora, on a Georgia military base.
The added fact that Penderton is secretly in love with Leonora’s lover—another captain with his own set of issues—only complicates things further. Penderton's repressed and unfulfilled sexual desires mirror the unrequited female loves of Carson's own life. Despite its lukewarm reception, Reflections in a Golden Eye, with Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor as the leads.
