'A Wunderkind - a Wunderkind a Wunderkind. The syllables would come out rolling in the deep German way, roar against her ears and then fall to a murmur…' Writing about outcasts, dreamers and misfits in the Deep South, Carson McCullers was acclaimed for her sympathetic depictions of loneliness, the need for understanding and the search for love. These four masterly stories of eccentrics, failed prodigies, injustice and hope, written when she was in her twenties, explore the human condition with humour and pathos. This book includes Wunderkind, The Jockey, Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland, A Tree, A Rock and A Cloud.

Carson McCullers (1917-1967) va ser una escriptora precoç amb una vida marcada per la malaltia: de ben jove va començar a patir diversos atacs fins que, quan tenia trenta-un anys, va quedar paralítica del costat esquerre. Revelació literària a vint-i-tres anys gràcies a la seva primera novel·la, El cor és un caçador solitari (labutxaca, 2007), Carson McCullers va escriure, a més, tres altres novel·les, un recull de contes, alguns articles i una autobiografia inacabada.
