### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Old Book, Current Issues
  

*by N***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2023*

I am loving this book! If you read this in your school days, let me encourage you to pick it up again. I started with Ballad of the Sad Cafe and jumped around from there. What rich worlds and characters she creates! The issues of women’s autonomy, gender identity, racial and class prejudice are part of what each story encompasses but there are no lectures. She is writing without knowing the phrases we use or the “sides” we’ve taken now. She sees each character as a complex personality, and I was enthralled as I followed them through a world and lives that are both familiar and bizarre.

    The Underlying Drama in ordinary lives
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2016*

This is a great collection of stories. Many of them are written during her college years and reflect the conditions of student life--off campus--and therefore life of average New Yorkers trying to get ahead in life. Even at an early age McCullers shows a terrific eye and ear in her stories; and writes with a spareness that makes Hemingway look wordy. I love the way that she makes stories out of the most ordinary events and people. She is among the first, it seems to me, to realize the deep drama that underlies our usually ordinary lives. In my words, to see that fiction is merely real life in disguise.

    Fine, neglected writer, on her way back!
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 28, 2001*

I've loved Carson McCullers for years, and her complete works have only been sporadically available. Her miniatures are near perfectly realized works of literary art, and this collection is a fine introduction to a great writer from the south who seems to have dropped of the critical radar. Her output is quite small, finely honed, and the prose is like a clear blue sky. Her longer works are worth searching for, and I recently noted that The Library of America has been hard at work making sure that Carson will continue to be read....!
