Experimenting with genres such as the crime thriller, the post-apocalyptic novel, and the western, his work also engages with the aesthetics of cinema, and several of his novels have been adapted for the screen. While timely and relevant, his works use idiosyncratic language and contain intense, troubling portrayals of racism, sexism, and violence that can pose challenges for students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume offers strategies for guiding students through McCarthy's oeuvre, addressing all his novels as well as his published plays and screenplays. Part 1, \"Materials,\" provides sources of biographical information and key scholarship on McCarthy. Essays in part 2, \"Approaches,\" discuss subjects such as landscape and ecology, mythologies of the American West, film adaptations, and literary contexts and describe assignments that encourage students to write creatively and to examine their personal values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stacey Peebles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603294821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603294829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Association of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 0.87d","brand":"Stacey Peebles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987554304255,"sku":"9781603294829","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_814891a9-7e95-4db1-af70-c5b3a4712923.jpg?v=1683289680","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/approaches-to-teaching-the-works-stacey-peebles-9781603294829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
