Jenn Shapland s book My Autobiography of Carson McCullers was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Award in Nonfiction.
Jenn Shapland s impressive debut is one of those rarest of nonfiction titles, an assured blend of personal memoir and literary detective work.
My Autobiography of Carson McCullers begins when Shapland, a graduate student, discovers letters written to McCullers by a woman named Annemarie. Her investigation leads to a narrative in which she questions how we tell queer love stories, how writer McCullers has been fitted into straight spaces, and what the whole journey reveals to Shapland about herself.
