Chapter 6. An Apocalyptic Journey: Revelation, Conversion, and the Different Ends of The Road -- Conclusion. At the Crossroads of Life and Death -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index |
| Summary |
"This assessment of Cormac McCarthy's novels captures the interactions among the literary and mythic elements, the social dynamics of violence, and the natural world in The Orchard Keeper, Child of God, Outer Dark, Blood Meridian, and The Road. Drawing on Rene Girard's mimetic theory, mythography, thermodynamic entropy, and information science, scholar Markus Wierschem identifies a literary apocalypse at the center of McCarthy's work, one that unveils another buried deep within the history, religion, and myths of American and Western culture"-- Provided by publisher |
