Recenzii

The greatest prose writer that the South produced ... She has examined the heart of man with an understanding that no other writer can hope to surpass
A remarkable book ... [McCullers] writes with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming
Of all the Southern writers, she is the most apt to endure
Again [McCullers] shows a sort of subterranean and ageless instinct for probing the hidden in men's hearts and minds
