(  ) Eggpants | Jun 25, 2020 | La ballata del caffè triste *** Wunderkin *** Il fantino * Madame Zilensky e il re di Finlandia ** Il forestiero *** Dilemma domestico *** Un albero. Una pietra. Una nuvola. *** (  ) Atticus06 | Jun 9, 2020 | 2019 - read the novella "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe" and the short stories: Wunderkind.-The jockey.-Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland.-The sojourner.-A domestic dilemma.-A tree, a rock, a cloud. I would rate the title novella 4* and the rest of the stories between 2.5 and 3.5* The 2 stories that I liked best were "Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland" and "A Domestic Dilemma". I was a bit surprised by the fact that many of the stories were not set in the South. I am giving the book a rating of 4* because of the novels "The Member of the Wedding" (4*) and "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" (5*), both of which I have reviewed separately. ( ) leslie.98 | Dec 17, 2019 | The grotesquely human and melancholic undertones coupled with sharp, gleefully-needling imagery, like a high-definition sepia photo of an old-fashioned circus freak show in a dusty town reminiscent of Carnivale, these hallmarks - and more - of McCullers' craft are on full display here. They make you writhe, either from the discomfort of merely witnessing these seemingly gnarly and distorted versions of humanity or from the discomfort of feeling confronted by a mirror. Best read in small doses. Favourite story: Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland. (  ) kitzyl | Feb 18, 2019 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
