"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"
