Reflections in a Golden Eye

On a military base in 1930s Georgia, Private Ellgee Williams catches sight of his captains wife in the nude and becomes obsessed with her. But Captain Penderton unhappily married to the unfaithful Leonora in turn erotically fixates on Williams. Spare, muscular and sensual, with the dramatic vision of a Greek myth, Carson McCullers novella is a timeless work about the alienation of forbidden desire.
