This book argues that McCarthy's works convey a profound moral
vision, and use intertextuality, moral philosophy, and questions of
genre to advance that vision. It focuses upon the ways in which
McCarthy's fiction is in ceaseless conversation with literary and
philosophical tradition, examining McCarthy's investment in
influential thinkers from Marcus Aurelius to Hannah Arendt, and
poets, playwrights, and novelists from Dante and Shakespeare to
Fyodor Dostoevsky and Antonio Machado. The book shows how
McCarthy's fiction grapples with abiding moral and metaphysical
issues: the nature and problem of evil; the idea of God or the
transcendent; the credibility of heroism in the modern age; the
question of moral choice and action; the possibility of faith,
hope, love, and goodness; the meaning and limits of civilization;
and the definition of what it is to be human. This study will
appeal alike to readers, teachers, and scholars of Cormac McCarthy.
