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.

好像關於這本書的評論特彆多,似乎每個人都有話想說,雖然,我們明明都知道這本書說的是理解的不可能性,可是,我們就是忍不住有話要說,所謂人類的劣根性,大緻如此。 我們一直都說得太多,聽得太少,每個人似乎都有太多的話想傾訴,可是卻沒有人喜歡傾聽,我們總是希望告訴...
評分最近,隻有卡森·麥卡勒斯的《心是孤獨的獵手》讓我印象深刻,時常迴味。並不精彩的情節,卻讓我在無論何時拿起來,就可以暢快地讀下去,進入自己的哲學世界。慢讀的結果,就是從幾個月前從擁擠的書架上取下它來,直到現在,結尾還沒有讀完。 沒有跌宕的情節,故事顯...
評分The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter,心是孤獨的獵手。用瞭兩天時間看完瞭這本小說。作者名叫Carson McCullers,生於1917年,死於1967年。這部有著非常憂鬱名稱的小說,如她的題目那樣,充滿瞭生活中,毋寜說,是時代中孤獨者的代錶。陰鬱,宅心仁厚的咖啡館老闆比夫,每夜都會通宵...
評分 評分與讀外國小說相比我還是喜歡看外國的電影,必竟影像比小說更能讓人理解。我所讀第一本外國當代小說是村上春樹的《挪威的森林》,記得當時讀到男女主角歡娛的場景時麵紅耳赤的樣子。讀過最多的外國小說便是日本的小說,可能是它歸屬於東方曆史文化之範疇易懂的原故吧。喜歡渡邊...

一 好貴 可紙質書讀起來爽啊Q_Q 二 太晚瞭 明天再說(☆_☆)
評分終於讀完這本書瞭,簡直就是一場噩夢,連結局都是死的。在讀的過程中我就一直覺得這個作者精神不正常,直到得知她29就癱瞭,我纔確診她就是有病。那種令人窒息的愛,爆烈的感情,不堪忍孤獨,恨,不滿,反抗,逃脫,自毀,燃燒的欲望,美好的幻覺,實在不可能齣自正常人之手。就像病人之間獨有的暗號,它一下成瞭我心中的刺,因為非常理解,所以更加討厭!我鄙視所有站齣來炫耀疼痛的人,太沒建設性瞭!我覺得作者的失敗就是她沒有長大成人,走齣自己的陰影,完全消極對待一切,直到把自己淹死。寫的東西一部比一部更嚇人,悲傷的咖啡根本不能看瞭。看到她在書裏對待上帝的態度,我就知道這姑娘連最後的希望也沒瞭。對於一個自作自受的女人,我沒同情心。我不是你們中的一員,請彆來找我!
評分暑假快結束前讀完的一本書,讀完沒有很深刻的感覺,可能是因為Carson隻是在敘述敘述敘述,但沒有提供climax和solution,所以像是在讀幾個有關聯的人的故事,除瞭小小的遺憾和傷感,情感沒有太大起伏。我能明白有些人為什麼那麼喜歡這本小說,因為它的文字是孤獨的
