Lots of interesting McCullers stories from her time at Yaddo. When I first read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, I didn't know what hit me. Didn't know she was on Buk's radar. But then he had wider tastes than the monocle-wearing academics give him credit for.
She reminds me of all my drunken loved friends most sober now or dead far to many years of abuse. I digress. I was rude last night to some human being critiquing Ernest Hemingway for committing suicide and his drunkenness. I suppose I shall not be The Little Buddha very soon. He was brilliant do you think ordinarness abhors brilliance? Or simply fear mental health issues due to reflection? I digress again. A wonderful share a way of making the mind think anew. She's rare and beautiful, yet simply honest.
40 + years after reading The Heart is a Lonely Hunter I still have a clear image in my brain - the image of a living room she described in her story…and of the front of the house that held it…
Most of my work is inspired by her. Her theory of love I find most intriguing. Visceral and unfiltered. Like grainy coffee that you need to get out the door in the morning .
