At just 23 years old, Carson McCullers published 'The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter', one of the seminal works of contemporary narrative. 'The Mute' and Other Texts presents, for the first time in Spanish, the initial sketch of the novel, which was originally titled 'The Mute', and reveals the creative process of the author's most emblematic character, the deaf-mute John Singer. The following texts, also unpublished in Spanish, grant the reader the privilege of sharing Carson McCullers' thoughts on literature: the awakening of her writing vocation, her passion for reading, her admiration for Isak Dinesen, or the parallels between southern writing and Russian realists.
Carson McCullers was an American novelist, short-story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Her first novel, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940), explores the spiritual isolation of misfits and outcasts in a small town of the Southern United States. Her other novels have similar themes. Most are set in the Deep South.
