What is the author's style in Wunderkind by Carson McCullers?

Technically, "Wunderkind" depends greatly on the skillful and effective way McCullers establishes Frances's point of view in the reader's mind. Allowing us "inside a character's head" usually leads us to identify and sympathize with that character; but in this case, it is essential to our understanding and central to the story's development. Through flashbacks and internal monologue, the reader is led to discover the elements of Frances's crisis (things we could learn in no other way) and to share her claustrophobic terror.
