Reviews
The New York Times
“The deity that presides over Mr. McCarthy’s world has not modeled itself on humanity: Its voice most resembles the one that addressed Job out of the whirlwind.”
Esquire
“McCarthy’s prose [is] the most laudable, his characters the most fully inhabited, his sense of place the most bloodworthy and thoroughly felt of any living writer’s.”
New Republic
“McCarthy meditates on creation, stares at it. He does not look past appearances, he looks through them…the world is set before us with fever-dream clarity…and then, with simile and metaphor, he sweeps everything into profound animation…McCarthy is writing entirely against the grain of our times, against the haste and the distraction and the moral diffusion…as an old, more spacious world rises up, we experience a more vivid and consequential feeling about human destiny, about good and evil and matters of the spirit.”
Washington Post Book World
“Like the novelists he admires—Melville, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner—Cormac McCarthy has created an imaginative oeuvre greater and deeper than any single book. Such writers wrestle with the gods themselves.”
