Paperback. Condizione: Very Good.

In How Cormac Works, Hardwig suggests that McCarthy's defining attribute as an author falls not in the realm of psychology, philosophy, or history but in his experimentation with language?in the style that gives his books their atmosphere, mood, and tone. Hardwig's analysis foregrounds the ways in which McCarthy utilizes and manipulates language, how he uses it to simultaneously create and withhold meaning, draw clear images, and resist this clarity. How Cormac Works focuses less on the what?what McCarthy writes or what the characters say?and more on the how?how McCarthy structures his fiction and how that structure contributes to his literary style and meaning.…
