Clock Without Hands (Penguin Modern Classics)

Product Information

Fiction of American writer Carson Smith McCullers explores the spiritual isolation of misfits and outcasts of the South; her novels include The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940) and The Member of the Wedding (1946). The late behavior of Malone, standing against all he has supported in the past, cannot be reconciled with his previously weak character and his adolescent hero worship of Judge Clane. I believe I have rated McCullers' first 3 novels with 5 stars, but, unfortunately I can't get there with this one. It seemed disjointed and unrealistic, and I disliked each of the four main characters equally. They seemed more like caricatures than real people.

The novella The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1951) also depicts loneliness and the pain of unrequited love. Yaddo in Saratoga, New York, graduated her, an alumna. T.J. Malone es farmacéutico tiene 40 años, dirige su propio negocio, tiene esposa y dos hijos pequeños; un día cualquiera va al médico y recibe la peor de las noticias, esta muriendo y no hay nada que hacer sin siquiera sospecharlo, esta noticia lo deja más lleno de dudas que de certezas, se pone a repasar su vida, y se da cuenta que no está listo para morir, su esposa Martha; una mujercita sin chiste pero resuelta, ha hecho un negocio vendiendo tartas y hasta ha comprado acciones de Coca Cola, es decir no se quedará desamparada, y eso en lugar de aliviarlo le hace sentirse ofendido. However, there are many levels on which this novel simply does not work, not the least of which is the unbroken feeling that you are standing outside the story just watching it from afar. It is a very emotional subject–Faulkner always makes me squirm and cry, McCullers just made me tense and left me cold. I could not muster sympathy for any of the characters, including the pharmacist, J. T. Malone, who has been handed a death sentence by his doctor when the story begins. She from 1935 to 1937 divided her time, as her studies and health dictated, between Columbus and New York and in September 1937 married Reeves McCullers, an ex-soldier and aspiring writer. Reeves found some work at Charlotte, North Carolina, where they began their married life.
