A recipient of the National Book Award, Country wide Book Critics Circle Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, Cormac McCarthy has established himself as the rare author whose every work is a reason for special event. With this book in dramatic type, McCarthy gives voice to existential dread and best signifying. ‘Like the novelists he admires-Melville, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner-Cormac McCarthy has generated an imaginative oeuvre higher and deeper than any one book. Such writers wrestle with the gods themselves.’-Washington Post Publication World
