Lula Carson Smith, who wrote under the name Carson McCullers, was born in Columbus, Georgia, in 1917. She intended to become a pianist and left at seventeen for New York, where she lost the money set aside for her music studies and took writing courses at Columbia. She published her first novel at twenty-three. She married the same man, Reeves McCullers, twice, and in 1945 settled in Nyack, in New York State. Strokes, from 1947, left her paralysed on the left side. She died in Nyack in 1967, at fifty.
