Child of God by Cormac Mccarthy
Brutal and disturbing, this is a novel that examines the darkest shades of human experience with dignity and grace.
A powerful and talented writer, able to elicit compassion for his protagonist however terrible his action* Sunday Times *
A reading experience so impressive, so "new", so clearly well made that it seems almost to defy the easy aesthetic categories . . . Accomplished in rare, spare, precise yet poetic prose. * New Republic *
McCarthy charts the terrible decline of Lester Ballard with passion, tenderness, eloquence, and a humour which, at its best, is attuned perfectly to the bitter wryness of the South. * Times Literary Supplement *
