This collection offers a fresh approach to the work of Cormac
McCarthy, one of the most important contemporary American authors.
Essays focus on his work across the genres and/or in constellation
with other writers and artists, presenting not only a different
"angle" on the work, but setting him within a broader literary and
artistic context. Such an approach offers a view of McCarthy that
is strikingly different to previous collections that have dealt
with the work in an almost exclusively "single author" and/or
"single genre" mode. McCarthy 's novels are increasingly regarded
as amongst the most rich, the most complex, and the most insightful
of all recent literary responses to prevailing conditions in both
the USA and beyond, and this collection recognizes the intertextual
and interdisciplinary nature of his work. Contributors draw back
the curtain on some of McCarthy 's literary ancestors, revealing
and analyzing some of the fiction 's key contemporary intertexts,
and showing a complex and previously underestimated hinterland of
influence. In addition, they look beyond the novel both to other
genres in McCarthy 's oeuvre, and to the way these genres have
influenced McCarthy 's writing.
