En la ciudad había dos mudos y siempre estaban juntos. Cada mañana a primera hora salían de la casa en que vivían y cogidos del brazo...  socogarv | Feb 4, 2021 |  This is an incredibly well written book--if somebody wanted to throw the word "genius" around, I wouldn't correct them. It's subtle and probing, drawing out the agonies of feeling too much, emotionally. However, it just wasn't my thing. I read it, I enjoyed it as a work of literature/art, but I'm not about to reread it anytime soon. (  ) whatsmacksaid | Jan 25, 2021 | 'The heart is a Lonely Hunter' in Norwegian.  EboBooks | Jan 16, 2021 | "One eye was opened wider than the other. The left eye delved narrowly into the past while the right gazed wide and affrightened into a future of blackness, error, and ruin. And he was suspended between radiance and darkness. Between bitter irony and faith. Sharply he turned away." -Biff from The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers There isn't anything I can say about this book that hasn't been said before, and probably said much better. Like other books of its ilk, this book is a must read for anyone looking to fill their "read" shelf with literary classics. A heady dive into Americana and southern gothic: lovely in all its subtleties. Is it a page turner with plot twists galore? Nope. What little action there was, was often told incompletely and left for the reader to fill in the empty spaces as the novel moved abruptly and irrevocably to the next scene. If you're anything like me, be prepared to spend a little time with this novel, it is not one that can be devoured quickly. What it lacks in fast paced action, it more than makes up in beautiful prose, fully dimensional characters, and complex relationships.

 No matter what the age of its author, "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" would be a remarkable book. When one reads that Carson McCullers is a girl of 22 it becomes more than that. Maturity does not cover the quality of her work. It is something beyond that, somthing more akin to the vocation of pain to which a great poet is born. Reading her, one feels this girl is wrapped in knowledge which has roots beyond the span of her life and her experience. How else can she so surely plumb the hearts of characters as strange and, under the force of her creative shaping, as real as she presents—two deaf mutes, a ranting, rebellious drunkard, a Negro torn from his faith and lost in his frustrated dream of equality, a restaurant owner bewildered by his emotions, a girl of 13 caught between the world of people and the world of shadows. Carson McCullers is a full-fledged novelist whatever her age. She writes with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming. "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" is a first novel. One anticipates the second with something like fear. So high is the standard she has set. It doesn't seem possible that she can reach it again.
