Collected Stories of Carson McCullers by Carson McCullers
4.0
The short stories didn’t start to get good for me until near the end. Of course Carson McCullers is a fabulous writer. Her prose is almost uncanny. It’s pure realism on the surface but the story is all underneath, in the subtext, the metaphor, the tone and the feeling you get. The Haunted Boy and The Sojourner were my favorites. And I really liked the second half of The Member of the Wedding.
