The Evolving Project of Cormac Mc Carthy presents eleven essays of original scholarship that undertake a programmatic reassessment of Mc Carthy’s literary and philosophical worldview. Examining issues of race, morality, history, metaphysics, law, economics, and ecology in Mc Carthy’s writing reveals how these themes intersect in an overarching, positive gesture that characterizes his work. Taken together, the essays offer a more expansive understanding of Mc Carthy’s critique of contemporary society, while providing new clarity on his vision of alternate ways of living and community beyond their present life-denying manifestations.
