Manoel Garcia Calle Sao Jose 120, Brazil, South America
Dear Manoel Garcia, I cannot possibly understand why I have not heard from you. Didn't you receive my two letters? Many other people in the class have had letters from South Americans a long time ago. Nearly two months have gone by since I started the correspondence.
Recently it came over me that maybe you have not been able to find anybody who knows English down there and can translate what I wrote. But it seems to me that you would have been able to find somebody and anyway it was understood that the South Americans whose names were on the list were studying English.
(From Collected Stories of Carson McCullers, 1987)
Until this book was given to me as a gift, I had read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, too. I highly recommend the short stories book. She writes well in that format, plus you'll find out more about her.

The book I quoted was also right next to my desk at work. Does that make me look like a screw-off?

I only did this because I like the passage picked at random in this way. I thought you might appreciate it!
