My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir by Jenn Shapland

challenging reflective sad slow-paced
I think this is the first biography-memoir I have read, and I am not sure that resonated with me. The shorter chapters definitely helped it move along, but I also felt it jumped around a lot. I found it talked about a whole lot of things, but nothing particularly well, or in a positive light. The comparisons felt disjointed and out of place. There were definitely some interesting aspects, but I felt they were in the minority. I understand others will really like this one, but it just wasn't for me. Being a memoir, I do not rate it.
