American writer (1917–1967). From the age of 29, paralysis of one side confined her to a wheelchair. Her work reflects the sadness of lonely people, and her first book, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, distinguished her immediately as a novelist of note. She wrote the best and the bulk of her work in a six-year burst through World War II, including the novella The Ballad of the Sad Café, which was dramatized by Edward Albee. Notoriously rare TLS, one page, 8 x 10, January 15, 1952. McCullers writes to Mr. Seward, in full: “Thank you for your kind letter of Jan. 11. It is most encouraging to receive such appreciation as yours. Enclosed in a photograph which I hope will be suitable for your office.” In fine condition, with some trivial surface creasing and a small tear to the right edge.
