Carson McCullers February 19, 1917
“Mrs McCullers and perhaps Mr. Faulkner are the only writers since the death of D. H. Lawrence with an original poetic sensibility. I prefer Mrs McCullers to Mr. Faulkner because she writes more clearly; I prefer her to D. H. Lawrence because she has no message.” – Graham Greene
“Carson’s major theme; the huge importance and nearly insoluble problems of human love.” – Tennessee Williams.

A Reflection in a Golden Eye was directed by John Huston. Carson and Huston remained close friends.
Carson and Reeves
McCullers is reluctant to reveal her feelings or her reasons for returning to marry Reeves a second time in 1945. The inclusion of the war letters between Carson and Reeves – an inclusion that Carson herself dictated in the original manuscript of her autobiography – betrays this reticence, and instead shows a tender, strongly felt bond between the two.
