“We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.” #carsonmcullers #novelist #shortstorywriter #writer #playwright #essayist #poet #southerngrotesque #southerngothic (at Fairlawn, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUGhMYhh_0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=94qnnvf083e1

Our new weekly series of favourite/ currently reading books beginning with Jade. Carson McCullers 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' I have recently picked this book up, and whilst I haven't read much of it I am already enjoying it immensely. From what I understand so far, it gives a voice to those usually ignored or rejected, from the deaf protagonist Jong Singer and other characters within the novel. I have heard good reviews of this book, both online and from friends, so I can't wait to read more of it! Have you ever read it? Did you enjoy it? Let me know in the comments. 📷 by Jade #carsonmcullers #bookstagram #bookish #literature #poetrymagazine #creativewriting #poetsofinstagram #writing #bookreview

It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the roller-coaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.
