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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 226mmItem Length: 150mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 320gContributor: Steven Frye (Edited by)Author: Steven FryeGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Cambridge Companions to LiteratureRelease Year: 2013
