Book Description
When The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter was published in 1940, Carson McCullers was instantly recognized as one of the most promising writers of her generation. The novels that followed established her as a master of Southern Gothic.
"McCullers' gift," writes Joyce Carol Oates, "was to evoke, through an accumulation of images and musically repeated phrases, the singularity of experience, not to pass judgment on it." McCullers effortlessly conveyed the raw anguish of her characters and the weird beauty of their perceptions. Set in small Georgia towns that are at once precisely observed and mythically resonant, McCullers' novels explore the strange, sometimes grotesque inner lives of characters who are often marginal and misunderstood. Above all, McCullers possessed an unmatched ability to capture the bewilderment and fragile wonder of adolescence.
In The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, an enigmatic deaf-mute draws out the haunted confessions of an itinerant worker, a young girl, a black doctor, and the widowed owner of a small-town caf. Two shorter works, Reflections in a Golden Eye (1941) and The Ballad of the Sad Caf (1943), use melodramatic scenarios and freakish characters to explore the disfiguring violence of desire. The Member of the Wedding (1946), on which the play and film were based, tells of a young girl's fascination with her brother's wedding and is perhaps McCullers' most moving and accomplished novel. In Clock Without Hands (1960), the story of a terminally ill druggist, McCullers produces some of her most forceful and indignant social criticism.

形式:ハードカバー
This book is the complete collection of McCullers's finest stories.
Among them, The Ballad of The Sad Cafe, this is Carson McCullers's one one the finest works of fiction.
Like deep feelings, great works always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
We sometimes have the feeling the world lost,
sometimes the world seems to have utterly lost its meaming.
This is the feeling which assails us who are living in this unprecedentedly tragic age.
In McCullers's works we can find some solace which suggests a great comfort, through which we are healed of the fractures separating us from the meaningfulness of the world.
Tennessee Williams says about McCullers:
I have found in her work such intensity and nobility of spirit as we have not had in our prose writing since Harman Melville.
I also believe that her work is further illuminated by her sincere pursuit of nobility, dignity, and tenderness of human beings.
