'McCarthy is a master stylist, perhaps without equal in American letters' Village Voice
Cormac McCarthy is the author of ten acclaimed novels, most recently The Road. Among his honours are the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
A powerful and talented writer, able to elicit compassion for his
protagonist however terrible his action.
*Sunday Times*
A reading experience so impressive, so "new", so clearly well made
that it seems almost to defy the easy aesthetic categories . . .
Accomplished in rare, spare, precise yet poetic prose.
*New Republic*
McCarthy charts the terrible decline of Lester Ballard with
passion, tenderness, eloquence, and a humour which, at its best, is
attuned perfectly to the bitter wryness of the South.
*Times Literary Supplement*
