Latest read, Sucker (1933) from The Collected Stories of Carson McCullers. A high schooler, when life doesn't go his way, verbally abuses his awkward younger cousin, who lives with him like a brother.
McCullers wrote this at 16. Astounding. It's measured, articulate, & rings true.
There is a strong feeling that McCuller's influenced Stephen King in the way that they characterize.

‘Unexpectedly moving, grimly amusing, intensely atmospheric’.
Never heard of it, or the author, but I’m very intrigued! Just look at the author photo! Is she fiercely cool, or what?

A lot of weird stuff goes on in the title story of this collection. Magical realism avant la lettre? Here's my thumbnail review: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/149995.The_Ballad_of_the_Sad_Caf_and_Other_Stories
