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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / American / General$2bisacsh 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / American / General 676 $a813/.54 686 $aLIT004020$2bisacsh 702 $aFrye$b Steven 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996204513303316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Cormac McCarthy$92493817 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
