Reflections in a Golden Eye by Carson Mccullers

Reflections in a Golden Eye by Carson Mccullers

A new trade paperback edition of McCullers' second novel, REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE, immortalized by the 1967 film starring Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, and John Houston.
Set on a Southern army base in the 1930s, REFLECTIONS tells the story of Captain Penderton, a bisexual whose life is upset by the arrival of Major Langdon, a charming womanizer who has an affair with Penderton's tempestuous and flirtatious wife, Leonora. Upon the novel's publication in 1941, reviewers were unsure of what to make of its relatively scandalous subject matter. But a critic for Time Magazine wrote, "In almost any hands, such material would yield a rank fruitcake of mere arty melodrama. But Carson McCullers tells her tale with simplicity, insight, and a rare gift of phrase." Written during a time when McCullers's own marriage to Reeves was on the brink of collapse, her second novel deals with her trademark themes of alienation and unfulfilled loves.

Carson McCullers (1917-1967), one of America's most enduring literary personalities, wrote with courage and compassion about life's misfits, their longing to belong, and their sometimes isolated and tortured existence in books like The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and The Ballad of the Sad Café, as well as plays like The Member of the Bride and The Square Root of Beautiful.
