Publisher Description

From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road In this taut, chilling story, Lester Ballarda violent, dispossessed man falsely accused of rape—haunts the hill country of East Tennessee when he is released from jail.

While telling his story, Cormac McCarthy depicts the most sordid aspects of life with dignity, humor, and characteristic lyrical brilliance.

"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." —Washington Post

Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

Bad Bad Things

Horrific; a car accident you can never look away from. McCarthy’s poetic words give loft and purpose to this grim fable he winds.

Lumpy McBugaboo ,

Ragged, Evil, and Beautiful

One of the best McCarthy books I’ve read

Child of God reveiw

This book was thoroughly gripping in a disturbing way. Lester Ballard is easily one of the most insane characters I have ever read. My only complaint about the book was the narrative. It was often times quite hard to understand. But when major things happened it was generally very good.
