Leading scholars take stock of McCarthy's final novels, illuminating the arc of his career, influence, and legacy
New Perspectives on Cormac McCarthy provides the first full-scale scholarly assessment of The Passenger and Stella Maris. While marked by McCarthy's unmistakable literary style, these novels venture into new genres and locales, focusing on mathematics and science, and showcasing his most developed and complex meditations on the nature of life and human consciousness. The essays in this volume chart unexpected paths through McCarthy's work and take up topics that include the writer's style, literary influences, and engagement with themes of quantum physics, history, capitalism, and psychiatry. Taken together these essays invite readers to question, explore, and speculate, at times in quite radical ways, about how to read McCarthy's final two novels and his work as a whole.
