Carson McCullers

McCullers' short stories don't even come CLOSE to the emotion and worldbuilding of her novels, in my opinion. A little disappointing, but the novella was worth the read, at least.

Honorable mention to "The Jockey"

hoong's review against another edition

I read this in junior high voluntarily. I wanted to absorb all the supposedly good writing of "famous" American novelists. I have forgotten as to what it is all about. It did not leave me with an impression like "Great Expectations" or "Woman in White", both of which were high school assigned books for book reports. (I refrain from reading non-American novels, if I can).

I wasn't a massive fan of the main story but some of the short stories were brilliant
