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

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。  

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...  

题外话： 许多同学质疑我写的东东言不及义，混乱不堪，一段又长又臭的文章下来，往往只摸了一个小说或者电影的边，有时压根摸都不摸。 这个评价我是接受的，我本来就言不及义，混乱不堪。 只是我通常不爱写影评、书评、乐评或者一切评论，在我而言，评论家都是不负责任的，学术...

爱这个书名,也爱介绍给我这本书的片子A Love Song to Bobby Long

小说起一个好名字真是太重要了

只有哑巴才能成为这个世界上最好的倾听者，因为他不说话。

哼~The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter，完全他妈的看不懂，只能中英结合着看~~~~~~~

辛格是一面镜子，照着他人的孤独，自己也不能幸免孤独。
