Regarded by many as one of Americas finest-living writers, Cormac Mc Carthy has produced some of the most compelling novels of the last 40 years. Through the increasing number of cinematic adaptations of his work, including the Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men, and the Pulitzer Prize for The Road, Mc Carthy is entering the mainstream of cultural consciousness, both in the United States and abroad. In Adventures in Reading Cormac Mc Carthy, Peter Josyph considers, at length, the authors two masterworks Blood Meridian and Suttree, as well as the novel and film of All the Pretty Horses, Mc Carthys play The Stonemason, and his film The Gardeners Son.The book also includes extended conversations with critic Harold Bloom about Blood Meridian; novelist and poet Robert Morgan about The Gardeners Son; critic Rick Wallach about Blood Meridian; and Oscar-winning screenwriter Ted Tally about his film adaptation of All the Pretty Horses. Drawing on multiple resources of an unconventional nature, this book examines Mc Carthys work from original and sometimes provocative perspectives. Proposing a new notion of criticism, Adventures in Reading Cormac Mc Carthy will become a useful tool for critics, students, and general readers about one of the great literary talents of the day.
