Here is the work of a supreme artist, Carson McCullers' enduring masterpiece, THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER. The setting is a small Southern town, the cosmos universal and eternal. The characters are the damned, the voiceless, the rejected. Some fight their loneliness with violence and depravity, some with sex or drink, and some--like the strange young girl, Mick Kelly--with a quiet, intensely personal search for beauty.*************************]]> 37380 49 860196 book 1940 The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter total:11301|5:3766|4:4061|3:2365|2:816|1:293| 11301 44094 16093 1230 3506 3.91 16292 1679 25523094 175635 37380 0618084746 9780618084746 1056 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678m/37380.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678s/37380.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37380.The_Heart_Is_a_Lonely_Hunter 3.90 9721 1940 5 28 false Thu Jun 26 04:33:57 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 04:47:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 32188689 416390 37380 0618084746 9780618084746 1056 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678m/37380.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678s/37380.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37380.The_Heart_Is_a_Lonely_Hunter 3.90 11301 1940 4 13 false Sat Sep 06 12:23:40 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 03 15:32:09 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4261076 219514 37380 0618084746 9780618084746 1056 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678m/37380.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678s/37380.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37380.The_Heart_Is_a_Lonely_Hunter 3.90 11301 1940 5 8 false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 08 09:50:36 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 17 04:18:47 -0800 2009 more...]]> 6994240 271159 37380 0618084746 9780618084746 1056 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678m/37380.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168914678s/37380.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37380.The_Heart_Is_a_Lonely_Hunter 3.90 11301 1940 5 5 false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 10:08:25 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 10:08:25 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3140466 122924 940353 0679424741 9780679424741 18 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179640465m/940353.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179640465s/940353.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/940353.The_Heart_Is_a_Lonely_Hunter 4.04 112
