1940121376Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1940. First edition first printing with the date of 1940 on the title page of the author's first novel and masterpiece. Octavo original cloth. Boldly signed by Carson McCullers on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A very sharp example rare and desirable signed. With the publication of her first novel The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter Carson McCullers became a literary sensation. With its profound sense of moral isolation and its compassionate glimpses into its characters' inner lives the novel is considered McCullers' finest work an enduring masterpiece. "To me the most impressive aspect of The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter is the astonishing humanity that enables a white writer for the first time in Southern fiction to handle Negro characters with as much ease and justice of those of her own race. This cannot be accounted for stylistically or politically; it seems to stem from an attitude toward life." Richard Wright "A remarkable book . . . McCullers writes with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming" The New York Times. Chosen by Modern Library as one of 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century.
