Tressa It's been a while since I read McCullers' short stories, but I really liked her books Reflections in a Golden Eye and Clock Without Hands. I enjoyed more than Member of the Wedding and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, her two most famous books. I love southern gothic stories.


Maciek Thanks. I enjoyed this one, and maybe one day I'll look for her other books. Apart from Faulkner's "sanctuary" which I didn't like and some Flannery O'Connor stories I haven't read much in this genre. I borrowed Capote's "Other Voices, Other Rooms" - I haven't read much Capote so I hope I'll like it.


Tressa I don't think I've ever read Other Voices, Other Rooms. I've read Capote's In Cold Blood and A Christmas Memory. He's a good writer.
