Books are Made Out of Books
Cormac McCarthy told an interviewer for the New York Times Magazine that “books are made out of books,” but he was famously unwilling to discuss how his own writing draws on the works of other writers. Yet his novels and plays masterfully appropriate and allude to an extensive range of literary works, demonstrating that McCarthy was well aware of literary tradition and deliberately situating himself in a knowing relationship to precursors. In Books Are Made Out of Books, Michael Lynn Crews thoroughly mines McCarthy’s literary archive to identify over 150 writers and thinkers that McCarthy referenced in early drafts, marginalia, notes, and correspondence. Crews organizes the references into chapters devoted to McCarthy’s published works, the unpublished screenplay Whales and Men, and McCarthy’s correspondence. This updated edition now examines McCarthy’s final publications: the novel The Passenger and its play-like coda Stella Maris. For each work, Crews identifies authors, artists, or

Cormac McCarthy's Literary Evolution
When the New York Times published the first print interview with Cormac McCarthy in 1992, the author was barely known outside a small group of academics, writers, and devoted readers. None of his books up to that point, among them Suttree and Blood Meridian, had sold more than five thousand copies in hardcover. But that same year McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses made the best-seller lists, and over the next two decades, with the publication of such books as No Country for Old Men, the basis for the Coen brothers’ Oscar-winning film, and The Road, a Pulitzer Prize winner and an Oprah’s Book Club selection, McCarthy became a household name. In Cormac McCarthy’s Literary Evolution, Daniel Robert King traces McCarthy’s journey from cult figure to literary icon. Drawing extensively on McCarthy’s papers and those of Albert Erskine, his editor and devoted advocate at Random House, as well as the latest in McCarthy scholarship, King investigates the changes that McCarthy’s work as a novelist,

Stella Maris, E-bok
Pulitzer-palkitun kulttikirjailijan huikea sisarteos Matkustajalle. ”Cormac McCarthy on parempi kuin koskaan! – – Stella Maris ja Matkustaja yhdessä ovat McCarthyn uran rikkaimmat ja väkevimmät teokset. – – Kaiken julmuuden keskellä McCarthy päästää rohkeuden ja nerokkuuden valloilleen. Lopputulos ei ole heikkoa lepatusta, vaan elämää säkenöivä roihu.” — The Atlantic Alicia on kapinallinen matematiikkanero, harhainen – ja liian kaunis tähän maailmaan. Ideoita sinkoilevassa dialogiromaanissa Alicia hakee kaiken merkitystä ja mieltä keskustellessaan psykiatrinsa kanssa. Hän muistaa kaiken, tapaa hulvattomia olentoja, jotka näkyvät vain hänen silmilleen, ja kantaa isänperintönä atomipommin painoista syyllisyyttä. Mutta suurinta on rakkaus omaan veljeen, Matkustaja-kirjan Bobbyyn. Stella Maris on korkealentoisen säkenöivää ja tiheää pohdintaa tieteestä, kvanttifysiikasta, filosofiasta, musiikista, muistista, alitajunnasta, hulluudesta, itsemurhasta. Surun ja selittämättömän kaipuun syväluotaava kuvaus riipaisee. Cormac McCarthy (s. 1933) on Yhdysvaltojen merkittävimpiä ja arvostetuimpia kirjailijoita. Pulitzer-palkinnon Tie-romaanista voittanut kulttikirjailija on julkaissut 12 romaania. McCarthyn teokset ovat keränneet lukuisia kirjallisuuspalkintoja ja useita niistä on filmatisoitu. McCarthy on tunnettu etelän rajaseutujen karunkauniin maiseman ja väkivallan leimaaman elämän runollisena kuvaajana. Teokset Matkustaja ja Stella Maris huipentavat suuren tekijän elämäntyön. Kerronta on riipivän kaunista ja eksistentiaalista melankoliaa tihkuvaa.
