THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER, BY CARSON MCCULLERS



Southern writers rock. I don’t know why. They have something. Sometimes writers are in groups, like French Existentialists, Beats, Russians, and more. I think Southern American writers are something like that. Think of it, - Faulkner, McCarthy, William Styron, and there are more. This book, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, should get at least one point before it is being opened for having perhaps one of the coolest titles ever. And the book is excellent. It covers the topics of friendship and era and race, or time and loss. It’s not difficult to read, but that is not because the writing is simplistic, but rather because it is written by a pro. This is a book that everyone should read.

RATING 8/10
