The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940) is a novel by Carson McCullers.
It is centered on a deaf-mute named John Singer and the people he encounters in a 1930s Georgia mill town.

 New Georgia Encyclopedia: The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is a compelling portrait of isolated characters and of their longing for self-expression, human connection, and spiritual integration.
McCullers is best known for her novels The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940), Reflections in a Golden Eye (1941), The Member of the Wedding (1946), and The Ballad of the Sad Café (1951).
In 1968 The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter became the third of McCullers's novels to be adapted to the screen, following A Member of the Wedding (1952) and Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967).

 12/12/01 - The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
Although Hunter played in only half of Philadelphia's games in 2001, his statistics are comparable to Cruz's in some respects: his batting average was only ten points lower than Cruz's (.264), and his on-base percentage was actually higher (.344 to.326).
If Hunter holds to his statistical form, he'll be a good pinch-hitter for Houston, and he'll steal a lot more often than he gets caught, both of which statements are a lot more than we could say about Glen Barker's contributions to the Astros the last three seasons.
Certainly, Hunter is valuable enough to spot start, but in the event of a long-term injury to any of Houston's present starting outfielders, Hunter is not the solution to anything.

 The Heart is a Lonely Hunter literary criticism
To read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter as a novel of social criticism is to misinterpret the subtle yet precise art of Carson McCullers.
All of Carson McCuller's writing turns on the plight of the loving and the lonely, and it is this view of moral and spiritual isolation as the inescapable condition of man that makes The Heart is a Lonely Hunter so impressive as a first novel.
Mick Kelly is experiencing the pains of adolescence, suffering, from self-consciousness, beset by the confusions which accompany her developing sexuality, indulging in dreams of the future-a future that will be frustrated forever by the economic situation of her family, and finally embittered by the realization that her Woolworth's job means doom to her hopes.

They are drawn to him, as lonely people are to someone they believe will listen and understand.
McCullers' portrayal of these disparate characters are true to life and reveal a remarkable insight into people, no matter their age, gender, race, or background—an insight that is lacking in her self-absorbed characters.
The heart is a lonely hunter, so it will find what it wishes to—love—in the most unlikely of places.

THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER gives us a day, a year, and a day in the lives of five distinct characters: Singer, Mick, Brannon, Blount, and Dr. Copeland.
Their lives are shot through with frustration and discouragement and the intense privacy of their inner lives gives the reader the impression that they are isolated, lonely beings.
At the same time, many readers of Lonely Hunterhave expressed a sense of the beauty of the experience of reading the novel, a feeling which the trajectories of the characters, and the events of the story, cannot account for.

At the novel's heart is John Singer (a desperately ironic choice of name), a deaf man who choses also to be mute.

 lection: the heart is a lonely hunter
I have mixed feelings about reviewing Carson McCullers' Heart is a Lonely Hunter in the context of its selection for the Oprah Book Club.
It's relatively plotless; it's centered instead on strongly-drawn characters; those characters are searingly unhappy and just get unhappier; and at the end, a remnant of life-goes-on at the core of the survivors offers us some scant hope, even in a deeply unsatisfying universe.
At the heart of Lonely Hunter is one of the finest descriptions of love in American fiction.
