内容説明
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter was Carson McCullers' first novel, written in 1940. Set in a small town in the American South, it is the story of a group of people who have little in common except that they are all hopelessly lonely. A young girl, a drunken socialist and a black doctor are drawn to a gentle, sympathetic deaf mute, whose presence changes their lives. This powerful exploration of alienation is both moving and perceptive.
著者について
Carson McCullers was born in 1917. She is the critically acclaimed author of several popular novels in the 1940s and '50s, including The Member of the Wedding (1946). Her novels frequently depicted life in small towns of the southeastern United States and were marked by themes of loneliness and spiritual isolation. McCullers suffered from ill health most of her adult life, including a series of strokes that began when she was in her 20s; she died at the age of 50. The Member of the Wedding was dramatized for the stage in the 1950s and filmed in 1952 and 1997. Other films based on her books are Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967, with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando), The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968, starring Alan Arkin) and The Ballad of the Sad Caf (1991).

マッカラーズはこんな長いタイトルをつけるつもりはなかったらしい。しかし出版社の意向でつけられた『心は孤独な狩人』というタイトルは、内容にぴったりのものとなった。一読して明らかなように、この作品はドストエフスキーの『白痴』がベースになっている。ムイシキン公爵の役回りを演じるのはギリシャ人のシンガーさんで、かれは口がきけない。唖者なのだ。
かれを取り巻くクセの強い連中。さまざまな老若男女は、それぞれ悩みを抱え、怒り、悲しみ、不満の中で毎日を生きている。かれらの不満が生じるのは世間のせいでもあり、自分のせいでもあるのだが、かれらのグチを聴いてくれるのが、心おだやかにつつましく生きているシンガーさんなのだ。口がきけないからうなずきながら話を聴いてやり、微笑みを返してやる。だれもがシンガーさんに救われていく。
ところが病気の友人のベッドの脇で（無言で）友人に語りかけるかれの言葉に、読者はショックを受ける。かれは英語がよくわからず、熱心に語りかける連中の言葉を困惑して聴いていただけなのだ。ここでシンガーさんはムイシキン公爵とぴったり重なる。
唖者と白痴。どちらも特殊な例だと思えるが、そこで本質を見誤ってはならない。同様のことは日々わたしたち自身が経験しているのではないか。あなたが悩みや悲しみをぶつけている相手は、ほんとうにあなたのことを理解しているのか。分かってくれていると思いこみ、自分勝手なことを一方的に相手に押しつけてはいないか。あなたの心は、じつは存在しない対象（自分を理解し包み込んでくれる絶対的な人物）を求めつづける孤独な狩人ではないのか。

The structure of the novel is superb.
It is well known for it's Three part structure, which is like a fugue.
Part One introduces the readers to the main characters and their loneliness.
In this section, "the melody of loneliness" is being "played" by each of the main characters.
In Part Two, the lonely lives of the main characters, each with their own hopes and ambitions, entwine.
Loneliness deepens.
Then, there is Part Three, which functions like a coda in a piece of music.
The depth of the characters that McCullers creates is amazing.
Before you open the novel, think about the title.
It becomes one of the key motifs in the novel.

The kindle version of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is full of typos and errors. If you want to get the best out of this excellent novel then rather buy the traditional paperback version. The poor quality of this edition can only damage Penguin's reputation.
Carson McCullers is masterful

This book is a classic for a reason. The work-a-day lives of individuals in a small southern town are tenderly related to us, with all of their egos, inadequacies, (perceived and otherwise) are laid bare to our eyes. We watch as a young mind finds strange new feelings emerging, which seek a focal point for the developing affections. We watch as a husband-wife pair slowly circles a sink-hole of desperation, and an old man combats the growing realization of his own inconsequence. Such is life.

required summer reading

This was required summer reading for my teenage son. It is easy to follow the story and the language is everyday, but the story is depressing. He never would have chosen this on his own. And if I were in the library thinking about borrowing it, I probably wouldn't.
