Title: For Anyone Who's Ever Felt Like an Outcast or Misfit
Review: Published during the second World War, this novel takes an in-depth look into the lives of unique characters who throughout American history have come to epitomize the label of "different", "outcast", "weird", "freak" or "misfit". There is a character in the book that everyone can identify with and come to understand their world from a more insightful perspective. McCullers makes a brilliant showcase of life not as it should be or how we hope it will some day become, but as it is, without artifice or evasion. She allows us to look at ourselves without pity or self-loathing and without rationalization or retribution. We can see ourselves simply as human. If the definition of a literary classic is a title that stands the test of time, this novel certainly deserves that distinction.
