Sunday, Feb. 19, 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of my new favorite writer — Carson McCullers. My relationship with her began with an audio book of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and quickly followed with lapping up all of her novels. I’ll share some thoughts through the week on her basic themes, much of them related to longing for home and the nature of love, mostly set within the frame of her Columbus, Georgia childhood home. I set out some early thoughts in this piece for the Streetlight magazine blog.
