Used Book - The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

Book Summary: Carson McCullers The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is the authors first in her string of works that lift the voices of the outsiders. The debut novel tells the story of a deaf-mute man named John Singer, who lives in an unnamed mill town in Georgia in the late 1930s. Left alone after his close friend and roommate is sent away, Singer moves into a boarding house and soon becomes the confidant of four of the towns misfits. His new acquaintances include Mick Kelly, a spirited young girl from a poor family; Jake Blount, an alcoholic social reformer; Dr. Benedict Mady Copeland, an idealistic black physician; and Biff Brannon, the childless owner of the local cafe that brought the group together. These five voices share a common cry of isolation, the novels principal theme. 359 Pages. Used book in very good condition. Book Dimensions - 8 x 5.5 Inches
