Carson McCullers is a marvelous writer, but I could never get into this somewhat disjointed tale of lives intersecting in a Southern town.

WORTH CONSUMING!
A book about dignity. I can’t believe she wrote this when she was 23. It has a wise old salt sort of insight into human nature about it. Very sad, but somehow affirming for all that.

WORTH CONSUMING!
This is writing as it should be. McCullers pulls you into the lives of her characters, all fascinating and fully realized. Rich in detail. A writing style that is both informed and modern. Sometimes it’s apparent that this is a first novel… but if this was her first, I can’t wait to read the rest of her work.
