My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir by Jenn Shapland

5.0

I bought this book because it was a National Book Award finalist. I knew nothing about it. And, before starting this book, I didn’t know who Carson McCullers was. Ultimately, none of that matters. This book is direct and honest, but with a lyrical quality. It’s not like anything I’ve ever read, but it’s not avant-garde. The approach is just so personal to the author, it’s impossible for it not to be unique.
