Summary

Quand la gigantesque Miss Amelia accueille un gringalet bossu qui se prétend son parent, les rumeurs s'enflamment. Va-t-elle l'abattre pour le détrousser ? Son magasin rouvre, transformé en café. Il devient un lieu incontournable pour la clientèle que Cousin Lymon distrait de sa vie misérable. Les deux êtres que tout oppose s'associent corps et âmes, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. La ballade du café triste, Wunderkind, Un problème familial... Carson McCullers a élaboré de 1936 à 1951 ce recueil de sept nouvelles où l'alcool et la musique coulent à flots.

Il serait faux d'affirmer que la ville entière participa à cette fête satanique. Quelques personnes sensées estimèrent que Miss Amelia était suffisamment riche pour ne pas se donner le mal d'assassiner un vagabond qui transportait de la camelote. Il existait même dans la ville trois âmes charitables qui refusèrent d'instinct de croire à ce crime, malgré l'intérêt et l'immense scandale qu'il susciterait. C. McC.
