Hear, hear, Chris.
I would add "The Mother" to the list: it could also be used as a
good example of "anti-melodrama" or "anti-sentimental" in the sense
defined by VN in Gogol, the defiant opposite of "engazhay and compelling"
with the emotion intact: "What if her son had stayed at home with her And
carpentered and sung? What if those tears cost more than our redemption?"
