Listen Later

This episode is the second in a three-part series based on an interview with professor Carlos Dews, founding director of the Carson McCullers Center and the world's leading scholar in Carson McCullers studies. Professor Dews, who edited the unfinished autobiography of Carson McCullers, Illumination and Night Glare, and both volumes of the Library of America's The Complete Works of Carson McCullers, is currently editing the selected letters of Carson McCullers. In Episode 3, Nick and Carlos discuss that project, including the discovery of Carson's love letters to Marty Mann. This week's readings are from the so-called "War Letters" exchanged between Carson and Reeves McCullers in 1944 and 1945. Suzie Parker Devoe reads Carson's letter to Reeves of 21 November 1944, and Nick Norwood reads the letter to Carson Reeves wrote the following day.
