Description

Jenn Shapland's My Autobiography of Carson McCullers is a unique and captivating exploration of the life and work of one of America's most beloved writers. While working in the archives, Shapland discovered love letters that revealed a new side of McCullers' personality, prompting her to delve deeper into the author's life. Through a combination of archival research and personal reflection, Shapland reconstructs McCullers' story, weaving together fragments of her own experiences with those of the writer. The result is a genre-defying portrait that not only sheds new light on McCullers' life but also offers insights into the way we tell queer love stories. By interweaving her own narrative with that of McCullers, Shapland creates a vital and thought-provoking work that challenges our understanding of this iconic writer.
