The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

Set in a small Southern town, this poignant novel by Carson McCullers focuses on John Singer, a deaf-mute, and the unlikely friendships he forms. Singer becomes a confidant to a disparate group of townspeople who find solace in pouring out their innermost thoughts and feelings to him. Through their interactions, Singer profoundly impacts the lonely lives of those around him in this sensitive and moving story about human connection, compassion, and the struggle to overcome alienation.

This book is on Modern Library's list of the 100 Best Novels.

    Carson McCullers

    Carson McCullers (1917-1967) was the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, The Member of the Wedding, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and Clock Without Hands. Born in Columbus, Georgia, on February 19, 1917, she became a promising pianist and enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York when she was seventeen, but lacking money for tuition, she never attended classes. Instead she studied writing at Columbia University, which ultimately led to The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, the novel that made her an overnight literary sensation. On September 29, 1967, at age fifty, she died in Nyack, New York, where she is buried.
