心是孤独的猎手(The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter)简介：
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. 　　《心是孤独的猎手》曾被美国“现代文库”评为“二十世纪百佳英文小说”之一，在榜单上名列17，据翻译陈笑黎介绍，这是麦卡勒斯的第一部长篇小说，也是她一举成名的作品，出版于1940年她23岁之时。
　　故事的背景类似于《伤心咖啡馆之歌》中炎热的南方小镇。她说：“小说中两个聋哑男子的同性之爱令人感动，而同性之恋又是若有若无的，时而激烈，时而沉默。主旨凸显的是麦卡勒斯式的主题：孤独是绝对的，最深切的爱也无法改变人类最终极的孤独。绝望的孤独与其说是原罪，不如说是原罪的原罪。”而名为lostpast的南京读者刚读完《心是孤独的猎手》，她认为《心是孤独的猎手》比《伤心咖啡馆之歌》更能展开对“孤独”的独立表达。她说，“书中让我记忆深刻的是一个穷人家的小女孩，她藏在富裕人家的花园里，偷听老式收音机里传出的莫扎特，黑暗中爬上屋顶，寂静中回想莫扎特。小女孩会慢慢成长，逐渐变得冷静，直至平淡，麻木，但在黑暗中聆听内心声音的读者都能从她身上找到彻骨的孤独。每个人都孤独，却并未因这相似的孤独相连，人终究是孤独的，好像人终归是要死的。这是一条阴冷的真理，一个残酷的真相，麦卡勒斯却将其描绘得生动而尖锐，描绘得可以容忍，也必须容忍。”“麦卡勒斯作品看似荒诞，但在她的笔下，那些人物仿佛有了生命，有着缜密的逻辑和属于他们自己的命运，作家、读者、批评家都无法控制。”有译者似乎在为麦卡勒斯寻找学理依据。
