Book Review: The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (McCullers)
Have I read this before: No.
Review: This book had super interesting characters. I like books that shift perspective and this book does that very well, heightening the relationships amongst the characters by allowing us to see things from their differing perspectives. Everyone has a (as the title suggests) a loneliness or isolation about them, especially the individuals who seem very highly connected with others. It’s an interesting exploration of all the different ways loneliness can appear.
Favorite Part: I like how Singer was sort of an anchor for so many different people in so many different ways. What eventually happens to him near the end is shown from all of their perspectives, adding to its weight and importance.
Rating: 5/10
