The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers

Here is the work of a supreme artist, Carson McCullers' enduring masterpiece, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. The setting is a small Southern town, the cosmos universal and eternal. The characters are the damned, the voiceless, the rejected. Some fight their loneliness with violence and depravity, some with sex and drink, while others still are on an intensely personal search for beauty.
