Reviews'Fascinating and provocative, these essays illuminate what one contributor calls the "terrible beauty" of three of Cormac McCarthy's best-known and more recent "primal fictions." With Sara Spurgeon's elegant introduction, this collection is both a helpful overview and an in-depth, philosophical and cultural exploration of one of the greatest writers in English today.'
