The Member of the Wedding de Carson McCullers

The Member of the Wedding: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Carson McCullers Introducere de Ali Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 apr 2001
'Rarely has emotional turbulence been so delicately conveyed'The New York Times

With delicacy of perception and memory, humour and pathos, Carson McCullers spreads before us the three phases of a weekend crisis in the life of a motherless twelve-year-old girl. Within the span of a few hours, the irresistible, hoydenish Frankie passionately plays out her fantasies at her elder brother's wedding. Through a perilous skylight we look into the mind of a child torn between her yearning to belong and the urge to run away.

Recenzii

Entirely winning ... A probing novel about a youngster with an unlimited gift for creating fantasies in a Southern town ... Rarely has emotional turbulence been so delicately conveyed
The greatest prose writer that the South produced ... She has examined the heart of man with an understanding that no other writer can hope to surpass
Of all the Southern writers, she is the most apt to endure
