is it a gay whore on the cover

what? who doesn't like Carson McCullers?

She's not even in the top 10 among Southern Gothic writers, though.

Flannery O'Connor and Faulkner are far superior, sure... But who else?

Try The Ballad of the Sad Café and Other Stories, it have good reviwes.

Anybody read The Member of the Wedding or Reflections in a Golden Eye?

golden eye is good
