Mehso-so

I read this last weekend and forgot to post about it. I expected to enjoy this because of how much I liked The Member of the Wedding, and I was surprised that didn't really. The titular story is by far the longest and it didn't appeal to me. #storyaday2023

Love these stories as much as I did when I first read them. The title story in particular is very good. Moss Amelia is one of the most vivid characters I've ever read.

Heart rending, as I expect from Carson McCullers. I had to skip one of the stories cause it was just too raw. All of them were so powerful, so kind of desperate with a special kind of southern bleakness that was different from English bleakness in a way I can‘t quite put my finger on. Definitely not a beach read, not easy for the soul, but I also wish it had been longer.

When Miss Amelia‘s rejected husband, Marvin Macy, arrives back in town, all hell breaks loose. American gothic at its finest. #ohnonotyouagain #marchintooz

batsy Such a fabulous cover. 7y

First of all, love is a joint experience between two persons — but the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience to the two people involved. There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries. Often the beloved is only a stimulus for all the stored-up love which had lain quiet within the lover for a long time hitherto. And somehow every lover knows this.
