The only problem I found was the lack of anything pulling the reader through the entire novel. Its too much like a series of character pieces, wonderful character pieces, mind you. It was just a minor issue with what is otherwise a wonderful book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-68236576970008505942011-06-30T19:50:57.758+08:002011-06-30T19:50:57.758+08:00I love Southern Gothic Lit and because of that fac...I love Southern Gothic Lit and because of that fact I probably teach more of it than I should (mostly short stories though by O'Connor, Faulkner and the like), it's easy for the kids to understand the stock character elements and appreciate its routes. I am ashamed to say that I have yet to finish this book, but your post makes me want to!

I completely agree that The Heart is a Lonely Hunter isn't a feel good book, but it was beautifully written nonetheless. :)Darlyn (Your Move, Dickens)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00979296421309409564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-9677692946639272652011-06-30T19:28:59.446+08:002011-06-30T19:28:59.446+08:00I think my classics book group will read this next...I think my classics book group will read this next year.
