1. Brilliant!, 4 Feb 2005
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By Robin Ruinsky
In her brilliant debut, Carson McCullers explores what may be the central core of human existence. The pursuit of love, understanding,our connection with humanity and the devastation of lonelieness when the connection is severed or misdirected.
What if the object of your affection, the focus of your friendship, the keeper of your confidences, is an illusion?
John Singer is the means by which McCullers brings to life this conundrum. A deaf mute living in the Depression era American South, Singer only commmunicates with his deaf room mate. The problem is, his room mate has no more understanding of Singer’s dreams than Singer will have of the people in the town who, because of his silence, see in him reflections of themselves.
Singer’s increasing isolation leads to a devastating and heartbreaking conclusion.
There is far more to this novel than I can describe here, so get a copy and discover the beauty of this book for yourself.
The writing is beautiful, the characters exquisitely realized and it is my favorite novel of all time. It is a book I picked up when I was 13 and still revisit.
McCullers speaks for all of us and our very human condition. Her insight is made more remarkable when the reader remembers that the book was published when the author was only 23 years old.

2. Beautiful, sad and funny, 2 April 2003
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By Gordon Dent (Market Drayton, UK)
The lives of a number of outsiders in a small town in the American south cross and recross without the character’s alienness or isolation ever being relieved. Watch for the comical clash between the two Marxists: an intellectual doctor and a radical worker who can’t agree on anything.
At the novel’s heart is John Singer (a desperately ironic choice of name), a deaf man who choses also to be mute. The eyes of his blind companion, he is also the confessor of the town’s other lonely people, who find fruitless comfort in his patient attention.
The prose is astonishingly beautiful and the mood of the novel stays with the reader for days afterwards. Deeper and more moving than “The Ballad of the Sad Café”, this is probably Carson McCullers’s best work.
