| Description: | Five people in a peace-time army camp. Five people each obsessed with the other, yet each alone in a private and impenetrable world.

There’s the Major whose ailing wife seeks consolation in the devoted attentions of a child-like Filipino. There’s Private Williams, whose simple, meandering existence requires strange peaks of fulfilment.—Backcover.

Author Bio for McCullers, Carson
Carson McCullers (19 February, 1917—29 September, 1967) was an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. With a collection of work including five novels, two plays, twenty short stories, more than two dozen nonfiction pieces, a book of children’s verse, a small number of poems, and an unfinished autobiography, Carson McCullers is considered to be among the most significant American writers of the twentieth century.
