A classic work that has charmed generations of readers, this collection assembles Carson McCullers's best stories, including her beloved novella "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe." A haunting tale of a human triangle that culminates in an astonishing brawl, the novella introduces readers to Miss Amelia, a formidable southern woman whose cafe serves as the town's gathering place. Among other fine works, the collection also includes "Wunderkind," McCullers's first published story written when she was only seventeen about a musical prodigy who suddenly realizes she will not go on to become a great pianist. Newly reset and available for the first time in a handsome trade paperback edition, The Ballad of the Sad Cafe is a brilliant study of love and longing from one of the South's finest writers.
First of all, love is a joint experience between two persons -- but the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience to the two people involved. There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries. Often the beloved is only a stimulus for all the stored-up love which has lain quiet within the lover for a long time hitherto. And somehow every lover knows this. He feels in his soul that his love is a solitary thing. He comes to know a new, strange loneliness and it is this knowledge which makes him suffer. So there is only one thing for the lover to do. He must house his love within himself as best he can; he must create for himself a whole new inward world -- a world intense and strange, complete in himself. Let it be added he... (查看原文)
I really took everything at their face value..看别人的评论才知道Amelia爱上了hunchback? What ? 我一直以为他们是纯洁的亲戚。。but anyway, it’s an odd thing that I came across something so relatable at this juncture of my life.

这本书的初衷应该是“哀而不伤”，可惜力道过猛。另一部作品<心是孤独的猎手>火候也欠。浮于表面的哀伤。

让我无法释怀的是hunchback的命运，比起Miss Amelia，他的孤独甚至没有人用描写来问津。心之所以是孤独的猎手，是不是也因为沉溺于自己的狩猎，陶醉于自己的表演，自制出一种悲壮，把别人当做猎物，却从没有看到过别人的执着呢？#论孤独中的自私成分#

同名篇开头和结尾非常惊艳，小镇沉闷古怪，各色人物都颇有小镇畸人的范儿，而咖啡馆是小镇居民繁杂、低微生活下的一个小乌托邦。虽然语言风格差别很大，但这个短中篇可以与奥康纳的《好人难寻》配合食用。此外，不太了解McCullers的生平，书中关于爱者与被爱者的探讨，是否折射了McCullers本人的恋爱观？

相对于与书名同名的中篇，更喜欢后面的短片一些。这些短篇里的人物行为更加合理化，所以多少有一些共情。而《伤心咖啡馆之歌》里，3个主要角色都不是正常人…很多行为甚至难以理解，除了感觉有些莫名其妙意外，并没有引起我心情什么波澜
