Outer Dark by Cormac McCarthy
Outer Dark (1968)(novel) by Cormac McCarthy (Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West (1985), All the Pretty Horses (1992), The Crossing (1994), No Country for Old Men (2005)) Cormac McCarthy’s second novel, Outer Dark, is another of McCarthy’s haunting, touching, devastating (and devastated-) road-novels, with which we are all sadly and happily familiar, at least since the eponymously titled film version (2009, starring Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee, with Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall and others) of his 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road (2006). McCarthy’s prose, as sharply modern as it is dialectally, poetically obscure is always masterful and simply must be read. (PR)
