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 in 1940. At its center is the
deaf-mute John Singer, who becomes the confidant for various
types of misfits in a Georgia mill town during the 1930s.
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.
Characters: 67. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
