لطيفة وجوها جميل الحقيقة

رغم التقشف الظاهري الذي تبدو عليه حياة الجنوب اﻷمريكي، إلا أنها تحت هذا المظهر المتقشف تحمل الكثير من الوعود بحكايات غير اعتيادية عن بشر تطبعوا بطبائع الحياة الخشنة في الجنوب وتركت أثرها على نظرتهم للبشر والعالم، و(أنشودة المقهى الحزين) مثال جيد على هذا.

Pas sure d’avoir compris la conclusion, mais l’histoire est très belle. On s’immerge très vite dans la vie mystérieuse d’Amelia, qui est un personnage étonnamment attachant.

I'm probably too dumb to grasp the importance of this book but I couldn't find any moment interesting. I would need a class to explain what's the deal with this book.
In none of the short stories is there a truly interesting plot. There are deep descriptions of settings but apart from that, nothing interesting for me.
The stories felt so flat for me.

Lymon is a pig.

Miss Amelia, a reclusive and eccentric woman, lives in a dreary Southern town. When she was younger, she was briefly married, but the union lasted only ten days. One day, a hunchbacked man claiming to be her cousin arrives in town, and Miss Amelia accepts him with open arms. Her life suddenly lights up, she seems happy, and her shop becomes a café where everyone meets in the evenings. But a few years later, her ex-husband, released from prison, returns and disturbs the quiet couple and the whole village, leading to a sad ending. This novel is the inspiration for the film “Bagdad Café”, a vague inspiration because the film is much more cheerful. A story about the sad side of human relationships.
