El cor és un caçador solitari, publicat per primera vegada en català el 1965, és una de les novel·les més remarcables de la literatura nord-americana. L'autora hi descriu l'aïllament espiritual, simbolitzat per un personatge sord-mut, i la recerca difícil de l'amor. Les notacions sudistes confirmen els caràcters d'aquest imaginari torturat, per al qual injustícies i misèria moral s'alien en la constatació de la solitud humana. Sí, té un bon final, però... No m'ha atrapat. Se m'ha fet pesat. L'he anat arrossegant. I sí, arribo al final, en trec conclusions, potser la Mick, una mica sí que m'ha enganxat. El senyor Singer... No estava fet per mi, només això.
No matter what the age of its author, "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" would be a remarkable book. When one reads that Carson McCullers is a girl of 22 it becomes more than that. Maturity does not cover the quality of her work. It is something beyond that, somthing more akin to the vocation of pain to which a great poet is born. Reading her, one feels this girl is wrapped in knowledge which has roots beyond the span of her life and her experience. How else can she so surely plumb the hearts of characters as strange and, under the force of her creative shaping, as real as she presents—two deaf mutes, a ranting, rebellious drunkard, a Negro torn from his faith and lost in his frustrated dream of equality, a restaurant owner bewildered by his emotions, a girl of 13 caught between the world of people and the world of shadows. Carson McCullers is a full-fledged novelist whatever her age. She writes with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming. "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" is a first novel. One anticipates the second with something like fear. So high is the standard she has set. It doesn't seem possible that she can reach it again.

When she was only twenty-three, Carson McCullers's first novel created a literary sensation. She was very special, one of America's superlative writers who conjures up a vision of existence as terrible as it is real, who takes us on shattering voyages into the depths of the spiritual isolation that underlies the human condition. This novel is the work of a supreme artist, Carson McCullers's enduring masterpiece. The heroine is the strange young girl, Mick Kelly. The setting is a small Southern town, the cosmos universal and eternal. The characters are the damned, the voiceless, the rejected. Some fight their loneliness with violence and depravity, Some with sex or drink, and some -- like Mick -- with a quiet, intensely personal search for beauty. "From the Paperback edition."
