Synopsis
Cormac McCarthy both embodies and redefines the notion of the artist as outsider. His fiction draws on recognizable American themes and employs dense philosophical and theological subtexts, challenging readers by depicting the familiar as inscrutably foreign. The essays in this Companion offer a sophisticated yet concise introduction to McCarthy's difficult and provocative work. The contributors, an international team of McCarthy scholars, analyze some of the most well-known and commonly taught novels - Outer Dark, Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses and The Road - while providing detailed treatments of McCarthy's work in cinema, including the many adaptations of his novels to film. Designed for scholars, teachers and general readers, and complete with a chronology and bibliography for further reading, this Companion is an essential reference for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of one of America's most celebrated living novelists., This book offers essays from an international team of scholars, providing an introduction to McCarthy's life and works that will appeal to teachers and scholars. Essays include broad thematic treatments of multiple works, including Outer Dark, Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses and The Road, and cover McCarthy's extensive work in film., Cormac McCarthy both embodies and redefines the notion of the artist as outsider.
