About This Novel
"The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" is a story of extreme loneliness. The protagonists of the story are two mutes-Singer and Antonapoulos. Although they cannot speak, they have the same mind and they depend on each other in the small town. Until one day Antonapoulos was sent to a mental hospital due to alcoholism and overeating, and Singer began a lonely journey. Being good at listening, he became a window for others to vent their loneliness, but Singer's own loneliness was always unknown. Everyone is looking for an exit from loneliness, but no one can escape the fate of loneliness, not even love. "Song of the Sad Cafe" tells the weird and absurd love story between Miss Amelia, the criminal Marvin Macy and the hunchback Lemon in a small town. In a weird, mysterious and absurd way, it expresses a human theme as eternal as love - loneliness, and uses the absurdity of love to confirm the inevitability of loneliness. "A Clock without Hands" is McCullers' impressive novel. The story takes place in a small town in the southern United States, where there is an old southern judge Fox Crane and his grandson Jester, as well as a young black boy Sherman with a pair of blue eyes, and a pharmacist suffering from leukemia, Mr. Malone. Jester wants to find the truth behind his father's suicide, while Sherman wants to find his mother. In less than a year, the lives and fates of several characters are intertwined. Their intersection is not because they like each other, but just because of excessive loneliness.
