HTML:A Southern woman is undone by love and gossip in the classic novella, one of seven stories in this "brilliant . . . panorama of remarkable talent" (The New York Times).
One of the most celebrated and enduringly popular works in Southern literature, this collection assembles Carson McCullers's best stories, including her beloved novella "The Ballad of the Sad Café." A haunting tale of love and violence in a small Southern town, the novella introduces readers to Miss Amelia, a formidable woman whose home serves as the town's gathering place. Among other fine works, the collection also includes McCullers's first published story, "Wunderkind," about a musical prodigy who suddenly realizes she will not go on to become a great pianist.
First published in 1951, The Ballad of the Sad Café was adapted for the stage by the Edward Albee and later made into a film starring Vanessa Redgrave and Keith Carradine.

The ballad of the Sad Café: The town itself is dreary; not much is there except the cotton-mill, the two-room houses where the workers live, a few peach trees, a church with two coloured windows, and a miserable main street only a hundred yards long.
Wunderkind: She came into the living-room, her music satchel plopping against her winter-stockinged legs and her other arm weighted down with school books, and stood for a moment listening to the sounds from the studio.
The jockey: The jockey came to the doorway of the dining-room, then after a moment stepped to one side and stood motionless, with his back to the wall.
Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland: To Mr Brook, the head of the music department at Ryder College, was due all the dredit for getting Madame Zilensky on the faculty.
The sojourner: The twilight border between sleep and waking was a Roman one this morning: splashing fountains and arched, narrow streets, the golden lavish city of blossoms and age-soft stone.
Wunderkind: Dragging her books and satchel she stumbled down the stone steps, turned in the wrong direction, and hurried down the street that had become confused with noise and bicycles and the games of other children.
Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland: Mr Brook watched the Airedale until he was out of sight, then resumed his work on the canons which had been turned in by the class in counterpoint.
