1. 世界上有愛者,也有被愛者,這是截然不同的兩類人。
——卡森·麥卡勒斯
2. 麥卡勒斯,也許還有福克納,是繼D.H.勞倫斯之後具有原創詩情的作家。相比福克納,我更喜歡麥卡勒斯,因為她寫得更通透;和勞倫斯相比,我也更喜歡麥卡勒斯,因為她不傳道。
——格雷厄姆·格林(獲得21次諾貝爾獎提名)
3. 如同所有原創天才作家,麥卡勒斯令我們認識到,我們對真實世界中某些明顯的東西視而不見……她是一位有著罕見洞察力的大師,無與倫比的小說家。
——V.S.普利切特,英國著名作家

The Ballad of the Sad Café
The town itself is dreary; not much is there except the cotton-mill, the two-room houses where the workers live, a few peach trees, a church with two colored windows, and a miserable main street only a hundred yards long. On Saturdays the tenants from the near-by farms come in for a day of talk and trade. Otherwise the town is lonesome, sad, and like a place that is far off and estranged from all other places in the world. The nearest train stop is Society City, and the Greyhound and White Bus Lines use the Forks Falls Road which is three miles away. The winters here are short and raw, the summers white with glare and fiery hot.
If you walk along the main street on an August afternoon there is nothing whatsoever to do. The largest building, in the very center of the town, is boarded up completely and leans so far to the right that it seems bound to collapse at any minute. The house is very old. There is about it a curious, cracked look that is very puzzling until you suddenly realize that at one time, and long ago, the right side of the front porch had been painted, and part of the wall—but the painting was left unfinished and one portion of the house is darker and dingier than the other. The building looks completely deserted. Nevertheless, on the second floor there is one window which is not boarded; sometimes in the late afternoon when the heat is at its worst a hand will slowly open the shutter and a face will look down on the town. It is a face like the terrible dim faces known in dreams—sexless and white, with two gray crossed eyes which are turned inward so sharply that they seem to be exchanging with each other one long and secret gaze of grief. The face lingers at the window for an hour or so, then the shutters are closed once more, and as likely as not there will not be another soul to be seen along the main street. These August afternoons—when your shift is finished there is absolutely nothing to do; you might as well walk down to the Forks Falls Road and listen to the chain gang.
