Pressestimmen
"To me the most impressive aspect of THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER is the astonishing humanity that enables a white writer, for the first time in Southern fiction, to handle Negro characters with as much ease and justice of those of her own race. This cannot be accounted for stylistically or politically; it seems to stem from an attitude toward life." -- Richard Wright
"When one puts [this book] down, it is with . . . a feeling of having been nourished by the truth." --May Sarton
"A remarkable book . . . [McCullers] writes with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming." The New York Times
"Quite remarkable . . . McCullers leaves her characters hauntingly engraved in the reader's memory." The Nation

"One cannot help remarking that this is an extraordinary novel to have been written by a young woman of twenty-two; but the more important fact is that it is an extraordinary novel in its own right, considerations of authorship apart." -- Saturday Review of Literature Saturday Review
"The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter has remarkable power, sweep and certainty . . . Her art suggests a Van Gogh painting peopled with Faulkner figures." The New York Times Book Review
"Sensitively conceived and expertly told . . . Its quality as writing and the intensity of its theme combine to make it one of the outstanding novels of recent years." --Times-Picayune

Kurzbeschreibung
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter was Carson McCullers' first novel, written in 1940. Set in a small town in the American South, it is the story of a group of people who have little in common except that they are all hopelessly lonely. A young girl, a drunken socialist and a black doctor are drawn to a gentle, sympathetic deaf mute, whose presence changes their lives. This powerful exploration of alienation is both moving and perceptive.

I consider The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter to be a classic novel. It certainly is a masterpiece. The setting of the story is down south in Georgia. The era is during the Great Depression. This was an era of racial tension especially in the south, but as is often the case in the novel, music proved to be a strong source of solace and passions are stirred to add vigor to the romantic side of things. Even though they lived in a delicate world of their times, the characters live their lives oblivious of the constraints around. The strength of spiritual isolation is strong and mirrors the reality of mankind. The novel portrays the purpose of man in his God-given role on earth. This is a novel that will be enjoyed by generations to come. Just like DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE, this book carries a deep message.

The kindle version of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is full of typos and errors. If you want to get the best out of this excellent novel then rather buy the traditional paperback version. The poor quality of this edition can only damage Penguin's reputation.
Carson McCullers is masterful

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a classic for a reason. The work-a-day lives of individuals in a small southern town are tenderly related to us, with all of their egos, inadequacies, (perceived and otherwise) are laid bare to our eyes. We watch as a young mind finds strange new feelings emerging, which seek a focal point for the developing affections. We watch as a husband-wife pair slowly circles a sink-hole of desperation, and an old man combats the growing realization of his own inconsequence. Such is life.

required summer reading

Format:Taschenbuch
This was required summer reading for my teenage son. It is easy to follow the story and the language is everyday, but the story is depressing. He never would have chosen this on his own. And if I were in the library thinking about borrowing it, I probably wouldn't.
