went to her house in georgia like five years ago. they still keep peawieners in the backyard. you could tour the nice home she lived in with her mother and see her writing table and everything, and then go out in the yard, cross the dirt road, and see the run-down shacks her black housekeepers lived in. insane. a woman without an iota of self-awareness. mccullers's characters are much more human than o'connor's, imo
I took a break from Absalom Absalom to read The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, and I wasn't into it. Specifically I didn't like the artificial folksy storytelling voice she uses. I think it comes from Sherwood Anderson, and although I liked Winesburg, Ohio, I felt the same sense of ironic detachment as in McCullers, as if we're going to pretend to be simple-hearted country yokels ponderin' over the mysteries and hardships of life. It's affected and artificial.
I have.
There's a McCullers poster that haunted this board for years, newbie.
I take full accountability for creating McCullers schizo. My intentions were good but I underestimated the autism factor.
It was butterfly. Speaking of which, what happened to her? Did she manage to buy some place and get her stuff started?
>southern writer
>second only to Faulkner
>you've never read her
Yes I have

>something irrelevant
Writers house museums tend to suck imo. I've seen Dickens, Dante, Keats, Goethe cribs. Just some rooms.

Ducks, Newburyport is very good. One of my favorite reads in the last four years.
Probably because that’s the only book you have read in the last 4 years

Anderson was writing about his life, he was from a farm town and self educated, not really an affect.
