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.
思维不在一个维度上的人,沟通大多时候也是徒劳无功。有很多话想讲,话到嘴边还是算了,对方未必能懂,甚至未必想听。我终于能够体会麦卡勒斯所说的那种孤独,那是一种即便朝夕相对,也无法理解彼此的状态。于是也就不可能有真正的亲密。 在不用说话的时候,一切都挺美好的。
评分从不受他人感想干扰的私人阅读中,对麦卡勒斯那些孤独的描述对象,最能获得感应的是经历成长之痛的青春期女孩。在《婚礼的成员》里,是弗兰淇。在《心是孤独的猎手》里,是米克。 在已届中年的咖啡馆老板比夫的眼里,那个12岁左右的米克有着瘦长的身子,灰亚麻色的头发,穿...
评分题外话: 许多同学质疑我写的东东言不及义,混乱不堪,一段又长又臭的文章下来,往往只摸了一个小说或者电影的边,有时压根摸都不摸。 这个评价我是接受的,我本来就言不及义,混乱不堪。 只是我通常不爱写影评、书评、乐评或者一切评论,在我而言,评论家都是不负责任的,学术...
评分 评分好像关于这本书的评论特别多,似乎每个人都有话想说,虽然,我们明明都知道这本书说的是理解的不可能性,可是,我们就是忍不住有话要说,所谓人类的劣根性,大致如此。 我们一直都说得太多,听得太少,每个人似乎都有太多的话想倾诉,可是却没有人喜欢倾听,我们总是希望告诉...
只有哑巴才能成为这个世界上最好的倾听者,因为他不说话。
