Columbus State University's Carson McCullers Center for Writers and Musicians has an official website at

http://www.mccullerscenter.org

where you'll find the mission statement, fellowship application materials, detailed information about McCullers' life and work, and information about how you can donate to the McCullers Center. This blog, though, is intended to give you a more casual report of day-to-day goings-on at CSU's Carson McCullers Center.

Visitor from Korea



Today the McCullers Center was honored to receive a guest all the way from Korea! And we were equally as honored to receive the relatives who accompanied her -- all the way from Nashville, Tennessee.

Micha Han (far right in the photo), from Korea, is a big fan of McCullers, citing The Ballad of the Sad Cafe as her favorite book. She reported, too, that she read Ballad in school, and that the book is very popular in Korea.

When Micha's sister, Kyong Robinson (center), of Nashville, learned that Micha was coming to the States for a visit, she offered to take Micha anywhere in the U.S. she wanted to go. Micha opted for Oxford, Mississippi, to see William Faulkner's home, and Columbus, Georgia, to see Carson McCullers' home. Micha's niece (and Kyong's daughter), Sandra Robinson (left) of Nashville, arranged for the trip.
