| 《心是孤独的猎手》作者麦卡勒斯的第一部长篇小说，也是她一举成名的作品和最具震撼力的代表作，居“现代文库20世纪百佳英文小说”第17位，曾被评为百部最佳同性恋小说之一。 故事的背景类似于《伤心咖啡馆之歌》中炎热的南方小镇。小说中两个聋哑男子的同性之爱令人感动，而同性之恋又是若有若无的，时而激烈，时而沉默。主旨凸显的是麦卡勒斯式的主题：孤独是绝对的，最深切的爱也无法改变人类最终极的孤独。绝望的孤独与其说是原罪，不如说是原罪的原罪。 Carson McCullers was born in 1917. She is the critically acclaimed author of several popular novels in the 1940s and '50s, including The Member of the Wedding (1946). Her novels frequently depicted life in small towns of the southeastern United States and were marked by themes of loneliness and spiritual isolation. McCullers suffered from ill health most of her adult life, including a series of strokes that began when she was in her 20s; she died at the age of 50. The Member of the Wedding was dramatized for the stage in the 1950s and filmed in 1952 and 1997. Other films based on her books are Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967, with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando), The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968, starring Alan Arkin) and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1991). |
