HTML:A Southern woman is undone by love and gossip in the classic novella, one of seven stories in this "brilliant . . . panorama of remarkable talent" (The New York Times).
One of the most celebrated and enduringly popular works in Southern literature, this collection assembles Carson McCullers's best stories, including her beloved novella "The Ballad of the Sad Café." A haunting tale of love and violence in a small Southern town, the novella introduces readers to Miss Amelia, a formidable woman whose home serves as the town's gathering place. Among other fine works, the collection also includes McCullers's first published story, "Wunderkind," about a musical prodigy who suddenly realizes she will not go on to become a great pianist.
First published in 1951, The Ballad of the Sad Café was adapted for the stage by the Edward Albee and later made into a film starring Vanessa Redgrave and Keith Carradine.

Se va lento en muchas partes, incluso puede resultar ligeramente aburrido... pero tiene un encanto que no logro dilucidar; para mí, quizá sea la atmósfera en que se desarrolla la historia y, principalmente, los personajes que McCullers nos narra con toda naturalidad, pese a lo poco comunes que son. Todo ello resulta bizarro, y no obstante no es una historia tan difícil de creer.
La fealdad y las faltas de los personajes son precisamente quienes generan la poesía de este libro, que alcanza incluso el título espléndido que tiene. ( )
Wunderkind: Dragging her books and satchel she stumbled down the stone steps, turned in the wrong direction, and hurried down the street that had become confused with noise and bicycles and the games of other children.
Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland: Mr Brook watched the Airedale until he was out of sight, then resumed his work on the canons which had been turned in by the class in counterpoint.
