by Carson McCullers The setting of “The Ballad of the Sad Café” is as much canvas as it is character, providing a fitting milieu of mud and mosquitoes for its dismal dissections of ruptured love and obsession. Carson McCullers, who burst onto the literary scene at twenty-three as something of a prodigy with her first novel “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” is a gifted stylist...

Carson McCullers second novel opens like this: An army post in peacetime is a dull place. Things happen, but then they happen over and over again. The general plan of a fort in itself adds to the monotony – the huge concrete barracks, the neat rows of officers’ homes built one precisely like the other, the [...]

I know Carson McCullers is a weird writer. I listened to The Ballad of the Sad Cafe on audio tape in high school, and was sufficiently apoplectic. So I don't know why it surprises me that I found The Member of the Wedding strange as well. Maybe it was that Sad Cafe was weird in a good way, but Wedding was just weird. Sometimes I get really annoyed with books, because I want them to be better. I'm like...

So I dunno. We could save a significant amount with a loan modification, but probably not quite enough to be able to swing it. Manny found a government website with information on how much they will generally reduce it. Still....

THE SOUTH WILL WRITE AGAIN... Apologies for the cheap title, but I couldn't resist it! Anyway, here I am in Nashville, Country Music Capital, and I thought this morning about the South and Southern writers. I have always been a voracious reader of a certain type of literature, a type of prose that is more poetic and lyrical than the styles you might find in other types of literature, and it occurred...

Part of Sony's Martini Movies* Collection Photo Slideshow Bookmark this on Delicious Print Page My first Martini was a Cosmopolitan-- the making of which unfortunately happened to coincide with the infamous Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson Super Bowl Half-Time "wardrobe debacle." Needless to say, the bartender was preoccupied, the drink was way too strong, and that's about all I remember about...

Itching with the sense of the fantastic, Joanna Scott's article in The Nation about the Danish writer Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) is a rare and attentive take on the namesake of this website. From Dinesen's conjurings in both life and on the pages, Scott impressively reveals the beating heart within the fabulism. It occurs to me that despite my naming this website after Dinesen, I spend very little...
