![]() ![]() Among his contemporaries, James Westfall Thompson critiqued the book as both bad history and bad literature while a review by Clemens's close friend William Dean Howells reveals that he found the book disappointing in proportion to Clemens's own high estimation of its literary qualities. (1)Īlbert Bigelow Paine quotes Twain in his official biography: "I like the Joan of Arc best of all my books & it is the best I know it perfectly well." (2) Samuel Clemens may have considered Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc his favorite book, but many critics and fans of Mark Twain have since failed to understand why. This value Twain attached to authenticity, I think, helps to explain the anomaly of Joan of Arc: that is, Twain's infatuation with her, his fanatical and illogical adulation, and his complete failure of critical acumen in judging the book as his best work. ![]()

Shapland focuses on the nature and problems of lesbians and the many indications that that was McCullers’ identity, but the story may inspire a discovery or rediscovery of the novels, plays, and memoirs of Carson McCullers, which are now too little known. Shapland takes a giant step further by making herself the primary personage in her narrative of her agonized journey in search of the origins of Carson McCullers’ sexuality. Virginia Spencer Carr, the author of the first major biography of Carson McCullers, involves herself indirectly in her biography of Paul Bowles. In recent years, biographers insinuate themselves into their books. It is only one of many types of associations I have had with them over the years, making me very receptive to Jenn Shapland’s innovative first book, My Autobiography of Carson McCullers. ![]() On the wall of my study you may see a photograph of Carson McCullers and Tennessee Williams that I cut out of a magazine when I was 14 in 1949. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He believes that if he is going to be able to control her pain and her world, then this, in turn, is going to provide the structure as well as the release that Leah needs to not only heal but also lead a normal life as well.
