- Carson McCullers reinvented herself after leaving home at age 17 to study at the Juilliard School of Music in Manhattan. Something happened to make her lose the money and she never attended the school. Instead, she worked and took night classes at university. Her published writing began to appear in 1936. She suffered throughout her life from serious illness, including rheumatic fever and several strokes. By the age of 31, her left side was completely paralyzed. Her work, usually set in the South of her birth, often focused on people seen as misfits and outcasts.

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (Modern Library 100… av Carson McCullers
Några udda personligheter i 1930-talets Sydstater. De har alla drömmar och längtar efter kärlek. Men livet är hårt och de känner inte att de når fram med sina önskningar. Den dövstumme Singer är den ende som förstår vad de vill med sina liv. Han lyssnar snällt men förstår inte mycket av vad de säger. Välskriven med ett levande persongalleri. En klassiker, tidlös och engagerande.
En säregen bok, som gjorde mig lite otålig under läsningen, samtidigt som jag tyckte att den var bra. Fina personskildringar av udda karaktärer.
