I wonder if they liked coffee or tea or water with a sprig of mint? When did they make art? What was their process like? Who did they love or who did they sleep with?

New Books in LGBTQ+ StudiesJenn Shapland, "My Autobiography of Carson Mccullers: A Memoir" (Tin House Books, 2020)Jenn Shapland's My Autobiography of Carson McCullers (Tin House Books, 2020) is a fascinating cross-genre book that combines elements of traditional biography with Shapland's own personal narrative of researching McCullers and discovering the many ways her life and McCullers' mirror each other. McCullers was a lesbian, but many of her biographers have shied away from this aspect of her life, referring to her partners as "friends" or "obsessions."
