You keep coming up with these great old photos of Carson McCullers; and I thought I’d seen them all at one time or another. But your last two Carson posts contained photos I’d never seen before. This one and the Marilyn Monroe photo.

I love anything and everything about Carson McCullers. I want to read her books The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, Clock Without Hands and Member of the Wedding. I also want to read more of her short stories.
