卡爾森‧瑪克勒斯 (Carson McCullers) 出生於1917219

卡爾森‧瑪克勒斯對南方相當熟悉,因為她就是在那裡長大的。瑪克勒斯一定也很清楚孤獨的感覺,因為在她的故事裡,她總是描述孤單人們的生活。在她最有名的小說同是天涯淪落人 (The Heart is a Lonely Hunter) 裡,他剖析了經濟大蕭條時,四個南方農人的「寂寞的心情」。卡爾森‧瑪克勒斯於1917219日在喬治亞州的哥倫布市 (Columbus) 出生,她從來都沒有想要當一個作家。


Carson McCullers knew all about the South because she grew up there. She must have known about feeling lonely, too, because her stories center on the lives of lonely people. Her most famous novel, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, looks into the "lonely hearts" of four people in a Southern mill town during the Great Depression. Born Lula Carson Smith on February 19, 1917, in Columbus, Georgia, Carson McCullers did not always want to be a writer.
