The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940) is the debut novel by the American author Carson McCullers; she was 23 at the time of publication. It is about a deaf man named John Singer and the people he encounters in a 1930s mill town in the rural Georgia.
The title comes from the poem "The Lonely Hunter" by the Scottish poet William Sharp, who used the pseudonym "Fiona MacLeod". “Deep in the heart of Summer, sweet is life to me still, But my heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill.”

The Classic Literature Book Club focuses on literature that has withstood the test of time and continues to be relevant. If you always wanted to read, and discuss such books, the Classic Literature Book Club might be the book club for you. We meet on the third Saturday of the month from 10:15 until noon in the Large Community Meeting Room in the Lobby on the 1st floor.
