"While working as an intern in the archives at the Harry Ransom Center, Jenn Shapland encounters the love letters of
Carson
McCullers
and a woman named Annemarie-letters that are tender, intimate, and unabashed in their feelings. Shapland recognizes herself in the letters' language-but does not see
McCullers
as history has portrayed her. And so, Shapland is compelled to undertake a recovery of the full narrative and language of
McCullers
's life: she wades through the therapy transcripts; she stays at
McCullers
's childhood home, where she lounges in her bathtub and eats delivery pizza; she relives
McCullers
's days at her beloved Yaddo. As Shapland reckons with the expanding and collapsing distance between her and
McCullers
, she sees the way
McCullers
's story has become a way to articulate something about herself. The results reveal something entirely new not only about this one remarkable, walleyed life, but about the way we tell queer love stories. In genre-defying vignettes, Jenn Shapland interweaves her own story with
Carson
McCullers
's to create a vital new portrait of one of America's most beloved writers, and shows us how the writers we love and the stories we tell about ourselves make us who we are"--
