About this book
A grotesque human triangle in a primitive Southern town ... A young boy learning the difficult lessons of manhood ... A fateful encounter with his native land and former love ... These are parts of the world of Carson McCullers - a world of the lost, the injured, the eternal strangers at life's feast. Here from one of America's superlative writers are brilliant revelations of love and longing, bitter heartbreak and occasional happiness - tales that probe the very heart of our lives.
