پپه

Rate this book
پپه هر حرفی می‌زدم یادش می‌موند و باور می‌کرد. از همین‌جا اسم «پپه» رو گذاشتیم روش. یه بار، چند سال پیش، بهش گفتم اگه با چتر از رو سقف گاراژمون بپره، چتره مثل چتر نجات عمل می‌کنه و ناجور پرت نمی‌شه. اونم همین‌کارو کرد و زانوش شکست. این فقط یه نمونه‌ش. بامزه‌ش اینه که هرچند بارم که گول می‌خورد، باز حرف منو باور می‌کرد. نه این‌که به کل کودن باشه‌ها ـ قضیه اینه که فقط با من این‌طوری بود. چشم می‌دوخت به هر کاری که من می‌کردم، و حرفمو بی برو برگرد باور می‌کرد.

About the author

Carson McCullers

194 books3,249 followers
Carson McCullers was an American novelist, short-story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Her first novel, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940), explores the spiritual isolation of misfits and outcasts in a small town of the Southern United States. Her other novels have similar themes. Most are set in the Deep South.
McCullers's work is often described as Southern Gothic and indicative of her Southern roots. Critics also describe her writing and eccentric characters as universal in scope. Her stories have been adapted to stage and film. A stage adaptation of her novel The Member of the Wedding (1946), which captures a young girl's feelings at her brother's wedding, made a successful Broadway run in 1950–51.

۱- آدمهایی اطراف مون هستن که ما رو با همه خوب و بدمون دوست دارن ولی ما نمی‌بینیم شون و محبت رو از آدمهایی گدایی می کنیم که ما رو نمی بینن
۲- کاسه صبر هرکسی ظرفیت محدودی داره و تا یه حدی و یه جایی بدی هامون رو تحمل می کنن... حتی کسایی که خیلی خیلی خیلی دوست مون دارن

Explores puberty, queerness, and family in uncomfortable proximity. So few words leave you with a clenched butthole and itchy skin. Absolute classic.

Me parece un relato muy profundo y lleno de significado para ser tan corto, y eso que ni es tan corto.
Sucker empieza a crecer cuando Pete le desprecia y se corta la relación, simbolizando que era Pete el que no le dejaba crecer, Pete pagaba su resentimiento con Sucker por Maybelle, lo que Maybelle le hacía, él lo repetía con Sucker, y ni siquiera es culpa de Maybell, Pete siempre trataba mal a Sucker, nunca le valoraba y siempre le menospreciaba.
Un buen relato sobre la crueldad humana, el arrepentimiento y cómo se pueden deteriorar las relaciones hasta romperse.
Siento pena por Sucker, Carson McCullers consigue que empatices con él y además incluso con Pete también.
El hecho de que Sucker empiece a crecer a partir de su discusión con Pete también puede simbolizar que hasta entonces había sido un niño (tiene 12 años) y se había comportado como tal, pero su hermano mayor era Pete y a él le gustaba ser un niño porque tenía a su hermano mayor, pero una vez Pete le dice esas cosas... Sucker comprende que ha perdido a su hermano, la relación es insalvable y ha de crecer.
También me llamó la atención que Pete dice que deja de llamarle Sucker, no se atreve, y le empieza a llamar por su propio nombre, Richard. Sucker significa bobo/tonto/inocente pero ese ya no es Sucker, por eso deja de llamarle así, porque Sucker ha cambiado.

I've read all of Carson McCullers's novels and this is the second short story I've read from my favorite American author.
I discovered years ago this great author thanks to books I borrowed from the public library in Casablanca. However, luckily for me I purchased this year from a bookstore a special edition In French language combining all of the author's novels and her 20 short stories in one book!!!

Like the other short story, this story is concise and detailed describing a scene where a leading character has strong emotion about something specific.

An intriguing look at how young relationships interact and develop. I was particularly moved by the observation of the main character of when people are happy then tend to joyfully acknowledge and influence the lives of others. This opens the door to an interesting contemplation of the evolution of positive and negative emotion and how it impacts the development of relationships throughout history and in our daily lives.

Lo peor es que le podrías dar una vueltecita a la historia y montarla como el mayor bisexual panic que existe…

(Siento que para mi es una historia que esta bien, pero ya, tampoco me parece trascendental)

Narración sobre un adolescente enfadado con el mundo que lo paga con su primo con quién convive. Es la caída del ídolo en una edad que marca el final de la infancia y la inocencia.
