I read most of the writing of Carson McCullers when I was a teenager, almost fifty years ago. > > The movie sounds like a laugh-a-minute: (from Rotten Tomatoes) "In this adaptation of the Carson McCullers novel, John Singer (Alan Arkin), who is deaf and mute, tries to help the people around him. He rents a bedroom in a small Southern town to be closer to his friend, Spiros (Chuck McCann), who is also deaf. John attempts to strike up a friendship with Mick (Sondra Locke), the teenage daughter of his disabled landlord (Biff McGuire), and meets the town drunk (Stacy Keach Jr.). Later, he helps Dr. Copeland confront his failing health." > > > > "Reflections in a Golden Eye" didn't get good reviews. We laughed at the description (again from Rotten Tomatoes): "An Army major (Marlon Brando) with a lusty wife (Elizabeth Taylor) feels homosexual in the 1940s South." Give us a review, then, of the book (not the movie). FWIW, we don't believe that you read anything but comic books as a teenager. You were not exactly an English language prodigy, and the subject matter of Carson McCullers' books doesn't sound like anything you would ever read.
