Synopsis "Child of god "

In this taut, chilling novel from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road, Lester Ballard--a violent, dispossessed man falsely accused of rape--haunts the hill country of East Tennessee when he is released from jail. While telling his story, Cormac McCarthy depicts the most sordid aspects of life with dignity, humor, and characteristic lyrical brilliance. "Like the novelists he admires-Melville, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner-Cormac McCarthy has created an imaginative oeuvre greater and deeper than any single book. Such writers wrestle with the gods themselves." --Washington Post Look for Cormac McCarthy's new novel, The Passenger.

(Rhode Island, 1933 - 2023 New Mexico) spent much of his childhood in Knoxville, Tennessee, where his first four novels are set. By 1965, he began to attract international critical attention with The Orchard Keeper, for which he won the Faulkner Award.

He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Road and the National Book Award for All the Pretty Horses. He is considered one of the four major American novelists of his time. His dense prose is categorized within the Southern Gothic genre for its stylistic complexity and the darkness and violence it presents. His books Outer Dark, Child of God, and Suttree, have been compared to the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.
