内容简介
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.
书中讲述的是一个关于孤独的故事。麦卡勒斯以她独特的手法写的美国南方小镇,写八月漫长沉闷的下午,写午夜的咖啡馆里喝着冰啤酒徘徊于孤独的人们,写黑人对于自由的隐忍与矛盾的苦痛,写那些期望于改革的人,疯狂绝望却又依然坚定地向前走的决心……这是一个孤独到极至的故事,在那些灰暗的天空底下,那个温和的聋哑人用他的孤独预示了美国这样一个狂乱年代的变更。没有人能摆脱掉孤独的影子,至死方休。

精彩书评
"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."
