With the publication of her first novel, THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER, Carson McCullers, all of twenty-three, became a literary sensation. With its profound sense of moral isolation and its compassionate glimpses into its characters' inner lives, the novel is considered McCullers' finest work, an enduring masterpiece first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1940. At its center is the deaf-mute John Singer, who becomes the confidant for all various types of misfits in a Georgia mill town during the 1930s. Each one yearns for escape from small town life. When Singer's mute companion goes insane, Singer moves into the Kelly house, where Mick Kelly, the book's heroine (and loosely based on McCullers), finds solace in her music. Wonderfully attune to the spiritual isolation that underlies the human condition, and with a deft sense for racial tensions in the South, McCullers spins a haunting, unforgettable story that gives voice to the rejected, the forgotten, and the mistreated -- and, through Mick Kelly, gives voice to the quiet, intensely personal search for beauty.

Richard Wright praised Carson McCullers for her ability "to rise above the pressures of her environment and embrace white and black humanity in one sweep of apprehension and tenderness." She writes "with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming," said the NEW YORK TIMES. McCullers became an overnight literary sensation, but her novel has endured, just as timely and powerful today as when it was first published. THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER is Carson McCullers at her most compassionate, endearing best. When she was only twenty-three, CarsonMcCullers's first novel created a literary sensation. Shewas very special, one of America's superlativewriters who conjures up a vision of existence asterrible as it is real, who takes us on shatteringvoyages into the depths of the spiritual isolationthat underlies the human condition. This novel isthe work of a supreme artist, Carson McCullers'senduring masterpiece. The heroine is the strangeyoung girl, Mick Kelly. The setting is a smallSouthern town, the cosmos universal and eternal.The characters are the damned, the voiceless, therejected. Some fight their loneliness withviolence and depravity, Some with sex or drink, and some-- like Mick -- with a quiet, intensely personalsearch for beauty.

读后感

这个城市的夏天漫长而闷热，每天只得以读书来打发时间 连续的几晚，终于读完了《心是孤独的猎手》 无数次的打开，又无数次的放下，几乎没有办法连贯的读下去 因为其中那些凶猛的孤独，比闷热的天气更加令人无法呼吸 倾诉，整本书里的人都在发疯般的渴望着倾诉 辛格飞快挥舞着...  

断想一： 书分季节，这本要在冬天读。 最好，这时候你手里捧着热水袋，手冰冷，脸却发烫；最好，你已紧闭了门窗，但还是有风；最好你的身旁有一盏桔黄色的灯；最好周围静得没有人。 在看到这本书五分之一的时候，忍不住想说一些话，一些过去说过，却久久不提的话。整个阅读...  

最近，只有卡森·麦卡勒斯的《心是孤独的猎手》让我印象深刻，时常回味。并不精彩的情节，却让我在无论何时拿起来，就可以畅快地读下去，进入自己的哲学世界。慢读的结果，就是从几个月前从拥挤的书架上取下它来，直到现在，结尾还没有读完。 没有跌宕的情节，故事显...  

思维不在一个维度上的人，沟通大多时候也是徒劳无功。有很多话想讲，话到嘴边还是算了，对方未必能懂，甚至未必想听。我终于能够体会麦卡勒斯所说的那种孤独，那是一种即便朝夕相对，也无法理解彼此的状态。于是也就不可能有真正的亲密。 在不用说话的时候，一切都挺美好的。  

好像关于这本书的评论特别多，似乎每个人都有话想说，虽然，我们明明都知道这本书说的是理解的不可能性，可是，我们就是忍不住有话要说，所谓人类的劣根性，大致如此。 我们一直都说得太多，听得太少，每个人似乎都有太多的话想倾诉，可是却没有人喜欢倾听，我们总是希望告诉...  

用户评价

图书馆的老书。内容远不如标题吸引人。

大二阅读课上推荐的，当时赏析的是Ballad of The Sad Cafe.喜欢CARSON的文笔，好像BALLAD是代表作，但还是更喜欢这本。

A strong but passionate portray of people who struggle with loneliness and live it through.

He died to save you.
