“The Heart is a Lonely Hunter” is among my all time favorite works. It’s not as simple as stories about lonely people or marginalized people. She writes stories about people with invisible lives. Especially if you’re familiar with the aching sadness of small towns in the American South, McCullers is a must read. She’s somewhere between “if Hemingway was a woman” and “if Denis Johnson lived in the 1940s”
