5.0 out of 5 stars The Ballad of the Sad Cafe: Learning Who We Are?
The brilliance of The Ballad of the Sad Cafe lies in the fact that it teaches us how to identify ourselves. The crux of the story seems to rest on what may be called an explicit explanation of the lover and the beloved. It's a critical distinction that most do not make; and may well explain why so many human relationships fail. McCullers writes:

3.0 out of 5 stars what is love
It is impossible to understand this book unless you undersatnd the short story unless you understant the intanglibe consecpt of love. And a definition of love may be diffrent for everybody, but that is the only way one can interpret the story.

1.0 out of 5 stars One star too many...., Jun 11 1999
This review is from: Ballad Of The Sad Cafe (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Ballad of the Sad Cafe" is one of the most over-rated stories I have ever come across. The opinions that had been expressed to me regarding this "work" had me expecting nothing short of the second coming. After reading it, I looked back at the cover of the book to make sure that I was reading the same story that these people had been talking about. I am an avid reader of classics, and this story was so bad that I will never read anything of McCuller's again. This is what happens when someone with no literary talent reads too much Shakespeare and thinks that they can write like him.
