![]() ![]() Still, I’m glad to have read My Autobiography of Carson McCullers. It’s a diminishment that invites another kind of invisibility and I think McCullers (and all of them) would have despised it. ![]() how reductive this is and how antiquated.

She wants to name lesbians – to use the word, over and over – not only as a point of principle, but because it does her such good. such a declaration cannot disguise the fact that her (over) identification with McCullers takes us nowhere that is very productive. ![]() My Autobiography of Carson McCullers, as its too-clever-by-half-sounding title implies, is neither memoir nor biography. ![]()
