- Carson McCullers reinvented herself after leaving home at age 17 to study at the Juilliard School of Music in Manhattan. Something happened to make her lose the money and she never attended the school. Instead, she worked and took night classes at university. Her published writing began to appear in 1936. She suffered throughout her life from serious illness, including rheumatic fever and several strokes. By the age of 31, her left side was completely paralyzed. Her work, usually set in the South of her birth, often focused on people seen as misfits and outcasts.

REFLEJOS EN UN OJO DORADO por Carson McCullers
club bruguera
Estamos en una ciudad provinciana del sur de los Estados Unidos en el primer tercio del siglo. Por el Café New York, regentado por Biff, van pasando hombres y mujeres, viviendo sus penas y alegrías, añorando sus ausencias: un sordomudo al que la locura le arrebató a su amigo inseparable, un borracho empedernido -extravagante filósofo de barra de bar-, una niña que va perdiendo su inocencia a medida que se convierte en adolescente, el propio Biff, herido de amor en lo más profundo de su corazón... Personas, en definitiva, que han nacido en un tiempo y en un lugar equivocados y que comparten a duras penas lo único que conocen bien, su propia soledad.… (más)
“Herria bera eskasa da; ezer askorik ez dago han, soilik kotoi fa- brika, langileak bizi diren bi gelako etxeak, mertxikondo bakar batzuk, eliza bat koloretako bi leihorekin eta kale nagusi ziztrin bat ehun yarda besterik ez dena…”. Horrela zabaltzen da Kafe tristearen balada, Carson McCullers-en obrarik ezagunena. Herriaren izena ez da aipatzen, baina ziur aski idazleak bere jaioterria zeukan gogoan lerro horiek idatzi zituenean, zeren eta horrelako leku hits, bakarti, bazterreko batean jaio baitzen Carson McCullers 1917an, Deep South edo Hegoalde Sakoneko Columbus herrian, Georgiako estatuan.… (más)
