Dictated to friends, family members, and secretaries from her bed before she suffered a final stroke, Illumination and Night Glare was finally published some 30 years later. In it, McCullers offers poignant and unabashed remembrances of her early writing success, her family attachments, a troubled marriage, friendships with literary and film luminaries, and her intense relationships with the important women in her life.
