  • THE BALLAD of the SAD CAFÉ Carson Mccullers
    THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFÉ Carson McCullers Gothic Digital Series @ UFSC FREE FOR EDUCATION The Ballad of the Sad Café (Harper’s Bazaar, 1943) 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.

Pollutants rife in the air, in the city: carbon emission, racism, oil spills, sexism, deforestation, misogynism, xenophobia, murder . .” (Tsamaase, 5). Ecofiction texts have the power to creatively address how environmental deterioration affects a person depending on their subject position. While many ecofiction works draw from realism, I was attracted to author Tlotlo Tsamaase and her more speculative twists on ecofiction. In her novella, Eclipse our Sins, Tlotlo Tsamaase creates a world in which the earth punishes humanity for the damage it has caused to her. Due to the goddess Mama Earth, humans are punished any time they commit sin against the Earth or one another. Words of hate manifest into a vapor that pollutes the lungs of everyone around them. Humans could resolve this issue by addressing issues of equality and the environment. The upper-class instead focus on making their living situations more comfortable and long-lasting. The upper-class extract energy, female eggs, and bodies from the lower-class in order to make themselves new bodies.

The author wishes to thank the Lyndhurst Foundation, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. He also wishes to express his appreciation to Albert Erskine, his editor of twenty years. Your ideas are terrifying and your hearts are faint.
