McCullers Carson The Ballad of the Sad Cafe
Few writers have expressed loneliness, the need for human understanding and the search for love with such power and poetic sensibility as the American writer Carson McCullers, and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe collects her best-loved novella together with six short stories, published in Penguin Modern Classics. Miss Amelia Evans, tall, strong and nobody's fool, runs a small-town store. Except for a disastrous marriage that lasted just ten days, she has always lived alone. Then Cousin Lymon appears from nowhere, a strutting hunchback who steals Miss Amelia's heart. Together they transform the store into a lively, popular cafe where the locals come to drink and gossip. But when her rejected and dangerous ex-husband Marvin Macy returns, the result is a bizarre love triangle that brings with it violence, hatred and betrayal. Among other fine works, the collection also includes 'Wunderkind', McCullers's first published story written when she was only seventeen, about a musical prodigy who suddenly realizes she will not go on to become a great pianist.

McCullers Carson Ballad of the Sad Cafe: and Other Stories
Carson McCullers's THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFE explores what it means to love and to be loved from the perspective of a bizarre romantic triangle. Cross-eyed, masculine Miss Amelia Evans, owner of the general store in a small town, marries Marvin Macy, who adores her. But what she wants is a helper, not a lover; when Marvin expects sex from her, she throws him out. Her cousin Lyman, a dwarf, comes to town, and Miss Amelia falls for him hard, rediscovering her feminine side in an attempt to seduce him and converting her store into a cafe where Lyman can hang out and feel comfortable. Then the rejected Marvin Macy returns to town, and Lyman becomes infatuated with him. The denouement is a scene of grotesquely brutal violence, as McCullers takes love to its furthest extreme, as it approaches hatred. McCullers's novella, with its lyrical writing, deeply eccentric characters, stiflingly hot setting, and passion-fueled action, epitomizes what is known as "Southern Gothic." The musical theme of the book's title is reinforced in the text, which begins and ends with the haunting, mournful songs of a chain gang, placing the novel vividly in time and place: 1928 Georgia.
