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.

只有孤独从不退场

在我即将离开我喜欢的那座城市之前，我开始阅读麦卡勒斯，那是一个阳光明媚的下午，我在宽敞的书店大堂里随意翻开一本《心是孤独的猎手》，跳过所有扉页上诸如“二十世纪百佳英文小说十七位”这样的宣传字眼，直接翻倒了开头。“镇上有两个哑巴，他们总是在一起。”她这样写到... (展开)

我们渴望倾诉，然则从未倾听

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... (展开)

断想

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... (展开)

译后记-究竟要活多久才足以谈人生

最近我渐渐生出一些疑惑，在文艺创作中，年纪和阅历究竟是不是一个非常必要的条件呢？是不是只有仿佛活了很久很久的长者，在开口谈论人生啊其实是这样时，才不会被人当做无病呻吟的笑料？之所以有这样的疑惑，是因为无论在阅读还是写作的过程中，我都感觉到了某种“刚刚好”的... (展开)

猎手带着孤独的心

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter，心是孤独的猎手。用了两天时间看完了这本小说。作者名叫Carson McCullers，生于1917年，死于1967年。这部有着非常忧郁名称的小说，如她的题目那样，充满了生活中，毋宁说，是时代中孤独者的代表。阴郁，宅心仁厚的咖啡馆老板比夫，每夜都会通宵... (展开)
