A recipient of the National Book Award National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize Cormac McCarthy has established himself as the rare author whose every work is a cause for celebration. With this novel in dramatic form McCarthy gives voice to existential dread and ultimate meaning. <br>“Like the novelists he admires—Melville Dostoyevsky Faulkner—Cormac McCarthy has created an imaginative oeuvre greater and deeper than any single book. Such writers wrestle with the gods themselves.”—Washington Post Book World
