Produktinformationen zu „Collected Stories of Carson McCullers (ePub)“
In one volume, the complete short fiction of the author of The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, including her two most renowned novellas.
Carson McCullers-novelist, dramatist, poet-was at the peak of her powers as a writer of short fiction. Here are nineteen stories that explore her signature themes including loneliness in marriage and the tragicomedy of life in the South. Included in this volume are "The Member of the Wedding" and "The Ballad of the Sad Café," novellas that Tennessee Williams judged to be "assuredly among the masterpieces of our language."
"McCullers patented the Southern gothic genre that embraces grotesque, morbid characters with such pervading themes as unrequited love and wounded adolescence. Largely set in the South and richly autobiographical, her writings have endured because of their great power and originality." -Library Journal

Autoren-Porträt von Carson McCullers
Carson McCullers (1917-1967) was the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, The Member of the Wedding, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and Clock Without Hands. Born in Columbus, Georgia, on February 19, 1917, she became a promising pianist and enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York when she was seventeen, but lacking money for tuition, she never attended classes. Instead she studied writing at Columbia University, which ultimately led to The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, the novel that made her an overnight literary sensation. On September 29, 1967, at age fifty, she died in Nyack, New York, where she is buried.
