- Title
Radical Intimacy Under Jim Crow "Fascism": The Queer Visions of Angelo Herndon and Carson McCullers.
- Authors
STEEBY, ELIZABETH A.
- Abstract
The article critiques the prison memoir "Let Me Live" by Angelo Herndon and the novel "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers, focusing on global fascism and the Jim Crow administration in the U.S. South as used in the novels. Topics discussed include the ways in which the two stories demonstrate the confining lives of the people in the South for both the privileged and the suppressed and the ways in which the stories portray the limits of intimacy in a regulated social system.
