Explanation In Favor Of Books Outer Dark
This is my third Cormac McCarthy book. First one was The Road, which is without a doubt one of the best books I ever read, it had a great impact on me. Second was No country for old men, after seeing the movie and discovering this story was also written by McCarthy I felt the need to read the story too to fully grasp its meanings. McCarthy writes dark, incredible, fascinating stories, Outer Dark is no exception. I find his writing and style very powerful, very expressive, beautiful, clear sentences, language and descriptions and the stories are so fascinating and always food for thought, I am a big fan of Cormac McCarthy now. This book leaves you thinking... what does this all mean, and it stays in your mind. I'm sure I will want to keep rereading his books. This man is a great writer. So glad I discovered his talents last year with The Road. Next McCarthy book is on my list to read, but after a break and some other books. This book has to sink in first and first I need some lighter reads before starting the next one. However, looking forward to it already.

I'm not a fan of nonsense lyrical language nor am I a fan of incest cannibalist nihilism or lack of punctuation so this book is probably not the book for me.Wow - just wow.I have never experienced stories or books such as Cormac McCarthy writes. None are pretty, all reach into your chest and rip your heart out but not in a romantic sense. I read this right after Child of God which completely blew me away as did the film and it was yet another story of people who I constantly wonder about. I ponder the whole nature vs nuture debate and how these lives may have been different if circumstances were drastically different than they were. How would have
***The following review, such as it is, might be considered spoilerish.Proceeding cautiously through my long-awaited, chronological rereading of the works of Cormac McCarthy, reading the supplemental materials Ive picked up over the years, and marveling at things I hadnt noticed first time around. Isnt that why we reread anything?This one, as dark and foreboding as anything hes written, in several ways, seems the telling of the Anti-Nativitynot the birth of the Anti-Christ, but a birth
It's been said that for writer's first novels, it is inevitable that they wear their influences on their sleeves. This is certainly the case with Cormac McCarthy's second novel, Outer Dark. Steeped in the tradition of Southern Gothic writing, this story of wandering siblings perpetually on the wrong side of luck and fortune reads like a Faulknerian nightmare.Rinthy Holme has no sooner given birth to her first child than its father, her brother Culla, hoping to rid himself of the incestuous
As though Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire focused intently on the concentration of forces at issue in the moment of "the things I do for love." I've read enough McCarthy to understand, I think, that his prose is almost tediously spartan for nine parts and then will bust a sudden swagger of rhetorgasm, as perhaps suggested by prior remarks on Blood Meridian.Some examples (in addition to the quotations in the status updates):Early foreshadowing in "the trees reared like enormous androids provoked
Of course, I loved it. To my great surprise, I discovered that I had not read this one while leafing through my paperbacks. Knowing this author, it foreshadows much of his later work, especially with the biblical themes of original sin, banishment from the garden, and the journey that our actions take us on. That journey is dangerous, often humorous, but always tinged with the innate cruelty residing in the heart of man. The two characters seem oblivious to their original error (incest), though
With this story, the author shows us that two people who have been able to get closer to their being, separate to follow parallel paths. Finally, a lesson in ordinary life but inscribed in an unknown setting.Through the play of symbols, the rhythm of the story, episodes of discoveries we seek as characters to know the rest ... the end of the journey in this universe full of dishonesty and disappointment.A very modern novel, and very nice.
