Published when she was only twenty-three years old The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is McCullers' debut novel and was an instant success. It tells the story of six outcasts in a small town in Georgia. The novel centers on John Singer a deaf-mute who finds himself alone after his best friend also a deaf-mute is sent away to an insane asylum. Singer's presence becomes the focus of four different misfits including a musically talented tomboy a soft-spoken diner owner an idealist African-American doctor and a violent social reformer who struggles with alcoholism.
