Summary/Abstract: A book from the “Masters of American Literature” series, devoted to the works of Cormac McCarthy, considered one of the four most important contemporary American novelists. His early novels are part of the literary tradition of the South, and they reflect the fact that the writer’s roots are firmly embedded in archetypal, symbolic, and mythical constructions. In his later works he refers to the Western style.
