Carson Mccullers'ın Küskün Kahvenin Türküsü, sade fakat oldukça etkileyici 6 öyküden oluşuyor. Kitaba ismini veren, kitabın en uzun öyküsü Küskün Kahvenin Türküsü çok güzel ama benim favorim son öykü olan Bir Ağaç, Bir Taş, Bir Bulut. Sadece şu bölüm bile kitabı sevmek için bir neden:
"Evlat, sevmeye nereden başlamalı biliyor musun?" Çocuk daha da büzülmüş, kımıldamadan oturmuş dinliyordu. Yavaş yavaş başını iki yana salladı. Yaşlı adam ona doğru eğilip fısıldadı:
"Bir ağaçtan. Bir taştan. Bir buluttan."
1917 doğumlu Carson Mccullers'in zamansız öyküleri sade ama etkileyici öyküler okumayı sevenleri tatmin edecektir.

A delightful collection of short stories! First time reading McCullers' work and am pleasantly surprised. Imbued with a very "humane" touch, her writing is poetic yet grounded.

'L'improvisation de la vie humane,'... 'There's nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.'

i think the initial draw i felt towards this book had much more to do with the circumstances surrounding my introduction to it. once i had finished the beginning novella (for which it is titled), i quickly ran out of steam. this is not to say the stories were bad, as i still enjoyed them to the best of my ability and felt a deep connection to her writing.
i also once again find myself wishing goodreads would allow half star ratings as i would've given it 3.5
