Through the increasing number of cinematic adaptations of his work, including the Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men, and the Pulitzer Prize for The Road, McCarthy is entering the mainstream of cultural consciousness, both in the United States and abroad. In Adventures in Reading Cormac McCarthy, Peter Josyph considers, at length, the author's two masterworks Blood Meridian and Suttree, as well as the novel and film of All the Pretty Horses, McCarthy's play The Stonemason, and his film The Gardener's Son.  The book also includes extended conversations with critic Harold Bloom about Blood Meridian; novelist and poet Robert Morgan about The Gardener's Son; critic Rick Wallach about Blood Meridian; and Oscar-winning screenwriter Ted Tally about his film adaptation of All the Pretty Horses. Drawing on multiple resources of an unconventional nature, this book examines McCarthy's work from original and sometimes provocative perspectives. Proposing a new notion of criticism, Adventures in Reading Cormac McCarthy will become a useful tool for critics, students, and general readers about one of the great literary talents of the day.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52452130554129,"sku":"NLS9780810877078","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014050832657,"sku":"NIN9780810877078","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780810877078.jpg?v=1759399178"},{"product_id":"cormac-mccarthy-s-last-outlaws-book-peter-josyph-9781476698717","title":"Cormac McCarthy's Last Outlaws","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work is the most extensive examination to date of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist's collaboration with director Ridley Scott on realizing McCarthy's controversial screenplay, \u003ci\u003eThe Counselor\u003c\/i\u003e, and it takes an equally close look at McCarthy's final masterwork, \u003ci\u003eThe Passenger\u003c\/i\u003e.

When writer and feature filmmaker Peter Josyph spent a year and a half combing the historic streets and debris-blasted buildings of Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, talking with workers and residents, capturing its struggles and transformations, he became what he calls a \"citizen-artist,\" personally shooting over two hundred hours of footage for his film Liberty Street: Alive at Ground Zero, and writing this haunting, eyewitness account of the extraordinary world that was created on September 11 and has vanished now forever.  When the Ground Zero neighborhood was misinformed and marginalized by city and federal agencies, it was left to its own devices in coping with round-the-clock deconstruction, toxic infestation, corrupt landlords, reluctant insurers, and simple access to the place they were proud-and cursed-to call their home. But loyal Downtowners who ran for their lives from the collapse of the Twin Towers returned with a resolve to restore their world to order. Exploring this \"dust-driven world of collateral damage,\" Josyph documented their struggle at a time when there were few there to witness it, and bans against photography made him \"a spy in the house of destruction.\" In what the New York Times called \"a personal, impressionistic, almost poetic account,\" Josyph finds in each detail a new way to envision that terrible morning, and he challenges the more simplistic, mainstream views of Ground Zero with vivid portraits of brave, exceptional-and complex-New Yorkers who made a place for themselves in that tragic and transitory neighborhood.  This expanded edition includes a new chapter and additional photographs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52820948779281,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52820949664017,"sku":"NLS9781438444222","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438444222.jpg?v=1764330900"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-josyph.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
