Counternarrative Possibilities reads Cormac McCarthy's westerns
against the backdrop of American mythology's two formative national
tropes: virgin land (from the 1950s) and homeland (after 9/11).
Looking at McCarthy's westerns in the context of American studies,
James Dorson shows how his books counter the national narratives
underlying these tropes and reinvest them with new, potentially
transformative meaning. Departing from prevailing accounts of
McCarthy that place him in relation to his literary antecedents,
Counternarrative Possibilities takes a forward-looking approach
that reads McCarthy's work as a key influence on millennial
fiction. Weaving together disciplinary history with longstanding
debates over the relationship between aesthetics and politics, this
book is at once an exploration of the limits of ideology critique
in the twenty-first century and a timely, original reconsideration
of McCarthy's work after postmodernism.
