Even before Harold Bloom designated Blood Meridian as the Great
American Novel, Cormac McCarthy had attracted unprecedented
attention as a novelist who is both serious and successful, a rare
combination in recent American fiction. Critics have been quick to
address McCarthy's indebtedness to southern literature,
Christianity, and existential thought, but the essays in this
collection are among the first to tackle such issues as gender and
race in McCarthy's work. The rich complexity of the novels leaves
room for a wide variety of interpretation. Some of the contributors
see racist attitudes in McCarthy's views of Mexico, whereas others
praise his depiction of U.S.-Mexican border culture and contact.
Several of the essays approach McCarthy's work from the perspective
of ecocriticism, focusing on his representations of the natural
world and the relationships that his characters forge with their
geographical environments. And by exploring the author's use of and
attitudes toward language, some of the contributors examine
McCarthy's complex and innovative storytelling techniques.
