    <![CDATA[With the publication of her first novel, THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER, Carson McCullers, all of twenty-three, became a literary sensation. With its profound sense of moral isolation and its compassionate glimpses into its characters' inner lives, the novel is considered McCullers' finest work, an enduring masterpiece first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1940. At its center is the deaf-mute John Singer, who becomes the confidant for various types of misfits in a Georgia mill town during the 1930s. Each one yearns for escape from small town life. When Singer's mute companion goes insane, Singer moves into the Kelly house, where Mick Kelly, the book's heroine (and loosely based on McCullers), finds solace in her music. Wonderfully attuned to the spiritual isolation that underlies the human condition, and with a deft sense for racial tensions in the South, McCullers spins a haunting, unforgettable story that gives voice to the rejected, the forgotten, and the mistreated -- and, through Mick Kelly, gives voice to the quiet, intensely personal search for beauty.      Richard Wright praised Carson McCullers for her ability &quot;to rise above the pressures of her environment and embrace white and black humanity in one sweep of apprehension and tenderness.&quot; She writes &quot;with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming,&quot; said the NEW YORK TIMES. McCullers became an overnight literary sensation, but her novel has endured, just as timely and powerful today as when it was first published. THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER is Carson McCullers at her most compassionate, endearing best.]]>

    <![CDATA[A new trade paperback edition of McCullers' second novel, REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE, immortalized by the 1967 film starring Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, and John Houston.       Set on a Southern army base in the 1930s, REFLECTIONS tells the story of Captain Penderton, a bisexual whose life is upset by the arrival of Major Langdon, a charming womanizer who has an affair with Penderton's tempestuous and flirtatious wife, Leonora. Upon the novel's publication in 1941, reviewers were unsure of what to make of its relatively scandalous subject matter. But a critic for Time Magazine wrote, &quot;In almost any hands, such material would yield a rank fruitcake of mere arty melodrama. But Carson McCullers tells her tale with simplicity, insight, and a rare gift of phrase.&quot; Written during a time when McCullers's own marriage to Reeves was on the brink of collapse, her second novel deals with her trademark themes of alienation and unfulfilled loves.]]>

    <![CDATA[Carson McCullers--novelist, dramatist, poet--was at the peak of her powers as a writer of short fiction. Here are nineteen stories that explore her signature themes: wounded adolescence, loneliness in marriage, and the tragicomedy of life in the South. Here too are &quot;The Member of the Wedding&quot; and &quot;The Ballad of the Sad Cafe,&quot; novellas that Tennessee Williams judged to be &quot;assuredly among the masterpieces of our language.&quot; (A Mariner Reissue)]]>

    <![CDATA[Set in Georgia on the eve of court-ordered integration, Clock Without Hands contains McCullers's most poignant statement on race, class, and justice. A small-town druggist dying of leukemia calls himself and his community to account in this tale of change and changelessness, of death and the death-in-life that is hate. It is a tale, as McCullers herself wrote, of &quot;response and responsibility--of man toward his own livingness.&quot;]]>

    <![CDATA[When <em>The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter</em> was published in 1940,   Carson McCullers was instantly recognized as one of the most promising writers   of her generation. The novels that followed established her as a master of   Southern Gothic.<br/><br/>  &quot;McCullers' gift,&quot; writes Joyce Carol Oates, &quot;was to evoke, through an   accumulation of images and musically repeated phrases, the singularity of   experience, not to pass judgment on it.&quot; McCullers effortlessly conveyed the raw   anguish of her characters and the weird beauty of their perceptions. Set in   small Georgia towns that are at once precisely observed and mythically resonant,   McCullers' novels explore the strange, sometimes grotesque inner lives of   characters who are often marginal and misunderstood. Above all, McCullers   possessed an unmatched ability to capture the bewilderment and fragile wonder of   adolescence. <br/><br/>  In <em>The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter</em>, an enigmatic deaf-mute draws out the   haunted confessions of an itinerant worker, a young girl, a black doctor, and   the widowed owner of a small-town café. Two shorter works, <em>Reflections in a   Golden Eye</em> (1941) and <em>The Ballad of the Sad Café</em> (1943), use   melodramatic scenarios and freakish characters to explore the disfiguring   violence of desire. <em>The Member of the Wedding</em> (1946), on which the play   and film were based, tells of a young girl's fascination with her brother's   wedding and is perhaps McCullers' most moving and accomplished novel. <em>In   Clock Without Hands</em> (1960), the story of a terminally ill druggist,   McCullers produces some of her most forceful and indignant social   criticism.<br/><br/>  Edited by Carlos Dews.]]>

    <![CDATA[An absorbing look at the early beginnings of one of America's finest writers, The Mortgaged Heart is an important collection of Carson McCullers's work, including stories, essays, articles, poems, and her writing on writing.  These pieces, written mostly before McCullers was nineteen, provide invaluable insight into her life and her gifts and growth as a writer.  The collection also contains the working outline of &quot;The Mute,&quot; which became her best-selling novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.  As new generations of readers continue to discover her work, Carson McCullers's celebrated place in American letters survives more surely than ever.  Edited by McCullers's sister and with a new introduction by Joyce Carol Oates, The Mortgaged Heart will be an inspiration to writers young and old.]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>&quot;Illumination and Night Glare </em> is an extraordinary document.  Dictated in an idiomatic, associative style, it exposes the doubleness of [Carson] McCullers's life. . . . A rich mine of information for anyone interested in McCullers, and American literary life in the 1950s, these memoirs are also a testament to the courage and sheer love of life of their author.&quot;&#151;Richard Gray, <em> Times Literary Supplement </em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Drei Liebesgeschichten, ohne Happy End, trägt Hannelore Hoger, eine der bedeutendsten deutschen Schauspielerinnen hier vor. Die Intensität, mit der sie die Texte, deren gemeinsames Thema Einsamkeit, Versagen und verlorene Zeit ist, interpretiert, kommt ohne laute oder grelle Effekte aus. Für die schmerzliche Erkenntnis, dass vieles nicht mehr rückgängig gemacht werden kann, findet sie den treffenden Ton. Dass sie die Zwischentöne und feinen Nuancen dieser Erzählungen meisterhaft beherrscht, hört man ganz schnell. Das Ergebnis: Man gibt sich voller Aufmerksamkeit einer erstklassigen Interpretation klassischer Kurzgeschichten hin! <p> In Sylvia Plaths Geschichte <em>In den Bergen</em> lässt die Sprecherin die Atmosphäre von Kälte, unüberbrückbarer Distanz und nachhaltender Verletzung hören. Zwischen der Frau und ihrem kranken Freund, den sie in den Bergen in einem Sanatorium besucht, kann keine Nähe mehr entstehen; der Bruch zwischen beiden, ausgelöst durch sein Betrügen, kann nicht mehr gekittet werden&#133; Plath gilt als brillante Verfasserin von Lyrik und Prosa. Die seelischen und psychischen Abgründe, die sie beschreibt, hat sie wohl selbst erlebt. Überfordert von den eigenen Ansprüchen an sich und enttäuscht von ihrer gescheiterten Ehe, nahm sie sich 1963 mit dreißig Jahren das Leben. <p>    Auch in der Kurzgeschichte <em>Nomade</em> von Carson McCullers arbeitet Hannelore Hoger das beängstigende Gefühl der Vergänglich- und Einsamkeit leise, aber nachhaltig heraus. Die Beerdigung des geliebten, aber irgendwie ,vergessenen' Vaters, vor allem aber die Begegnung mit der Ex-Frau und ihrem ,geordneten!' Familienleben mit Kindern lösen bei dem 38-jährigen Protagonisten eine Krise aus. In Hogers einfühlsamer Lesung glaubt man seinen &#132;leisen Neid, die Reue und Sehnsucht&#147; zu spüren. Die Zeit, die sich nicht mehr zurückdrehen lässt, kommt in einer von seiner Ex-Frau gespielten Bach-Melodie sehr schön zum Ausdruck. Sie begleitet ihn zurück nach Paris, dahin wo er zu Hause sein sollte! <p> Carson McCullers, 1917 in Columbus (Georgia) geboren, wollte eigentlich Pianistin werden. Ihr Startkapital von 500 Dollar verschwand jedoch, gleich nachdem sie in New York angekommen war! So musste sie sich durchschlagen. Anerkennung brachte ihr das Schreiben: ihr Erstling <em>Das Herz ist ein einsamer Jäger</em> wurde gleich ein Erfolg. Das Leben der begabten Frau war von Krankheit und Einsamkeit geprägt. McCullers starb 1967 in New York. In ihrer Kurzgeschichte <em>Ein Baum, ein Felsen, eine Wolke</em> erzählt ein alter Mann einem Zeitungsjungen von der Liebe. Die Sprecherin lässt in unserem Kopf den ,verwirrten' Mann, der elf Jahre seiner Frau nachjagte lebendig werden. Ihre Interpretation vermittelt die Einsamkeit des Alten, der an der Liebe zerbrochen ist, und dessen System darin besteht, alles fremd zu lassen und alles zu lieben. Die Leere, die den Mann umgibt -- in der Stimme Hannelore Hogers klingt sie weiter. Und der Junge, dem der alte Mann das alles erzählt, versteht ihn nicht&#133; <p> Fazit: Drei Liebesgeschichten von zwei großartigen Schriftstellerinnen! Ein Lob an die sensible, sehr professionelle Lesung von Hannelore Hoger, die hier mindestens genauso beeindruckend ist wie als Kommissarin Bella Block!  <p> Lesung, Spieldauer: ca. 78 Minuten, 1 CD. Mit Booklet. <em>-- culture.text</em></p></p></p></p></p>]]>
