Dr. Chris Walsh's scholarship has resulted in a new study on one
of America's leading authors. "In the Wake of the Sun: Navigating
the Southern Works of Cormac McCarthy" offers close textual
analysis of all of McCarthy's Southern works along with an overview
of the notable critical responses to them. The book is designed for
use by scholars, teachers, and students at all levels.
McCarthy's works set in the desert Southwest have received
substantial critical and commercial acclaim. However, his
Appalachian texts--which include two short stories written as an
undergraduate at the University of Tennessee, five novels
(including the Pulitzer Prize winner "The Road"), a play, and a
screenplay--rival the Southwestern works in terms of their
aesthetic achievement and complexity. In the Wake of the Sun
introduces readers, scholars, and students to the pertinent themes
in each text while also walking them through the most significant
critical dialogues surrounding the texts.
