A year in the life of a school for young Superheroes – ENGLAND
The Ballad of the Sad Cafe
Location(s): Georgia
Genre(s): Fiction
Era(s): 1940s
McCullers, known for Southern Gothic fiction, was born in Columbus, Georgia. McCullers felt “other” as a young woman growing up in the South, and with outcast characters, she explores that isolation and deep desire for connection in her fiction. The Ballad of the Sad Café is a beautiful, haunting novella of unrequited love involving a huge manly woman, a hunchbacked midget, and an ex-con, and which climaxes in a small-town brawl.
