Raves and Reviews

Mundik's book tackles the challenging complexity and darkness of McCarthy's metaphysical vision and finds a consistency of vision throughout his novels that is both profound and--in all senses of the word--illuminating.--Lydia R. Cooper, author of No More Heroes: Narrative Perspective and Morality in Cormac McCarthy
