Ask the Author
poll:
The time is now to start choosing our next BOTM. Since we have entered the summer solstice here in my region, I thought it would be fitting to choose a novel that uses heat like a character itself.
For example, in the novel,
The Heart is the Lonely Hunter
, author, Carson McCullers, uses the oppressive heat of the environment to mirror the psychological oppression experienced by the characters within the novel. This personification of heat also occurs in the play,
A Streetcar Named Desire
, symbolizing the tension between its two central characters.
