The Hunting Heart: Carson McCullers
January 24, 2021
The Dr. Greta McCormick Coger Literary Salon Series:
Inspired by our annual Southern Literary Salons, by our recent digital Decameron Project during the virus shut-down, and our generous long-time friend and scholar Dr. Greta Coger, we offer you a full slate of one-hour (or less) curated readings, scenes, speeches, and discussions that explore important authors and subjects close to home. Presented by TSC’s resident artists on our Owen and Margaret Wellford Tabor Stage, Greta’s Salon Series will engage you in an informal, comfortable, safe atmosphere on either our Tabor Stage or via our digital, paid simulcast.

“The heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire! To find some lasting comfort in the arms of another’s fire…driven by a desperate hunger to the arms of a neon light, the heart is a lonely hunter when there’s no sign of love in sight!” Carson wrote to quench the loneliness of her own heart, and her journey gives us insight into how we all may find our heart’s company. Her stirring prose soars when spoken, with a melody fueled by gut-wrenching truths.
