內容簡介
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.
書中講述的是一個關於孤獨的故事。麥卡勒斯以她獨特的手法寫的美國南方小鎮,寫八月漫長沉悶的下午,寫午夜的咖啡館裏喝著冰啤酒徘徊於孤獨的人們,寫黑人對於自由的隱忍與矛盾的苦痛,寫那些期望於改革的人,瘋狂絕望卻又依然堅定地嚮前走的決心……這是一個孤獨到極至的故事,在那些灰暗的天空底下,那個溫和的聾啞人用他的孤獨預示瞭美國這樣一個狂亂年代的變更。沒有人能擺脫掉孤獨的影子,至死方休。

精彩書評
"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."
