Reviews"This is literary criticism of the old school: wonderfully well informed by culture broadly, grounded in reality, accessible, and a real pleasure to read."--Nicholas Monk, author of True and Living Prophet of Destruction: Cormac McCarthy and Modernity, "Josyph shows himself capable of discriminating, and even irreverent, contemplation of his hero's corpus.... Forcefully, he makes his case for a canon within the McCarthy canon."--Pat Quinn, London Times Literary Supplement, "Josyph takes an aggressively unconventional approach to McCarthy's work."--Michael Lindgren, The Washington Post, "Peter Josyph has long been an unmistakable figure, a force of nature, in McCarthy circles."--David Cremean, The Cormac McCarthy Journal

SynopsisThis work is the most extensive examination to date of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist's collaboration with director Ridley Scott on realizing McCarthy's controversial screenplay, The Counselor , and it takes an equally close look at McCarthy's final masterwork, The Passenger . Having interpreted in music, painting, film, lectures, and three previous books the man he calls "our Rhode Island Shakespeare," the author draws on a wide range of sources from theatre, cinema, philosophy, and literature for an unsparing critique of what he calls Late McCarthy, and of trends in recent Cormac McCarthy criticism.
