Donna Everhart
is on page 100 of 296 of My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: This is another book that I didn't know much about - I grabbed it because it was about Carson McCullers. It's an exploration of the writer's life as a closeted lesbian, compared to the life of McCullers as the same.

“The gun was heavy in Randall’s hand, as it should be in any hand, and heavy with the weight of decision and consequence and the destruction to come. It was, he thought, a machine constructed to kill and spill the blood of nations and become a commodity for the powerful, and another tool with which to control the weak and later the same tool that would make the weak believe they have power when in truth they have none. Only a gun, heavy in their hand.”
