Àííîòàöèÿ: Carson McCullers extraordinary American Gothic tale of love and betrayal in the deep South tells the story of Miss Amelia, a very unconventional woman. A six-foot-two giantess, strong and self-reliant, she married Marvin Macy, the meanest and most handsome man in town, and then threw him out after ten days. Now she runs the local store alone, until Cousin Lymon, a strutting, hunchbacked dwarf, comes to town, steals her heart and transforms the store into a buzzing café. But when her rejected husband returns, a bizarre love triangle ensues and the battle of the sexes begins.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Written mostly before she was nineteen, these pieces provide invaluable insight into Carson McCullers s life and her gifts and growth as a writer. The collection also contains the working outline of The Mute, which became her best-selling novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Heart is a Lonely Hunter was Carson McCullers' first full-length novel. It is a story of a group of people in the American South, and their individual response to the gentle, sympathetic appeal of a deafmute. They include a fourteen-year-old girl, a drunken outcast, a negro doctor, the proprietor of a cafe, and a fat, lazy Greek.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The novel that became an award-winning play and a major motion picture and that has charmed generations of readers, Carson McCullers—s classic The Member of the Wedding is now available in small- format trade paperback for the first time. Here is the story of the inimitable twelve-year-old Frankie, who is utterly, hopelessly bored with life until she hears about her older brother—s wedding. Bolstered by lively conversations with her house servant, Berenice, and her six-year-old male cousin — not to mention her own unbridled imagination — Frankie takes on an overly active role in the wedding, hoping even to go, uninvited, on the honeymoon, so deep is her desire to be the member of something larger, more accepting than herself. A marvelous study of the agony of adolescence (Detroit Free Press), The Member of the Wedding showcases Carson McCullers at her most sensitive, astute, and lasting best.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Set in small-town Georgia on the eve of court-ordered integration, Clock Without Hands is Carson McCullers's final masterpiece as well as her most poignant statement on race, class, and individual responsibility. The actors in this allegory are J. T. Malone, a lonely, dying middle-aged druggist looking to redeem his misspent life; Fox Clane, a corrupt old judge and defender of the ways of the Old South; Jester Clane, the judge's orphaned grandson, a directionless adolescent with a strong sense of social justice; and Sherman Pew, an angry, blue-eyed black youth in search of his own identity. Their interlocking stories are told with that unique mix of humor, irony, power, and love that marks all of McCullers s writing.
