In Carson’s words, “I must say that in all of his talk of wanting to be a writer, I never saw one single line he’d ever written except his letters.” ![]() There is no evidence to suggest even remotely that this might be the case. Reeves, a writer who never wrote, was credited by numerous critics and reviewers throughout Carson’s life as the “real” Carson McCullers, the writer behind her books. Reeves later claimed that during that time he wrote a collection of essays, but no one saw his work.
