Set in 1930s Georgia, the novel centers around a deaf and mute man, John Singer. Singer has been devastated by the loss of his dear friend, Antonapoulos, who was committed to an asylum for bad behavior. Written with only twenty-three years, this work was the first novel by Carson McCullers and revealed the magnitude of her talent. Focused on the atmosphere of a small southern town and a group of people who have in common the essential loneliness, their marginality and the rejection of a society that ignores them, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is already a classic of contemporary narrative.
