Dusting Off the Classics Book Group-- The Heart is a Lonely Hunter In-Person
Join us for “Dusting Off the Classics." We will be meeting in the auditorium at the lower level of the library, or you may join us virtually. This month we will be discussing The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers.
Carson McCullers’ prodigious first novel was published to instant acclaim when she was just twenty-three. Set in a small town in the middle of the deep South, it is the story of John Singer, a lonely deaf-mute, and a disparate group of people who are drawn towards his kind, sympathetic nature. The owner of the café where Singer eats every day, a young girl desperate to grow up, an angry drunkard, a frustrated black doctor: each pours their heart out to Singer, their silent confidant, and he in turn changes their disenchanted lives in ways they could never imagine.
Pick up a copy at the library in the month preceding the discussion, or check it out on Hoopla or Libby.
