'McCarthy has the best kind of Southern style' – New York Times
John Wesley Rattner is a young boy when his father is murdered. Marion Sylder, an outlaw and bootlegger, strangled him to death.
By chance, John and Marion will meet. They will not recognise each other; John will not know what this man has done.
An experimental debut following in the footsteps of William Faulkner, this is a magnificent conjuring of an American landscape – and a devastating portrayal of innocence lost.
'A complicated and evocative exposition of the transience of life' – Harper’s -
