Sacred Violence: Cormac McCarthy's Appalachian Works
Book details
Summary
Description
In response to the rapidly growing critical interest in one of America's leading authors, twelve brand new essays and articles have been added to the original set of critical articles from the 1993 First Conference on Cormac McCarthy in this revised double edition of Sacred Violence. In Volume I, which concentrates on McCarthy's Appalachian-based works, New York Times best-selling author Robert Morgan recalls the emotional impact that watching the Gardener's Son had on him and its subsequent impact on his decision to write prose. Mike Gibson introduces you to the real-life east Tennesseans McCarthy recasts into the unforgettable supporting characters of Suttree, and Caroline Morris considers the toxic impact of hubris in The Stonemason. Other articles include eminent historian Richard Marius's keen reminiscences of Suttree's Knoxville, the city he and McCarthy inhabited as children.
