The Orchard Keeper by Cormac Mccarthy

The Orchard Keeper by Cormac Mccarthy

Cormac McCarthy's debut novel, reissued as part of the Picador Collection.

Mr McCarthy has the best kind of Southern style, one that fuses risky eloquence, intricate rhythms and dead-to-rights accuracy * New York Times *
The feeling for the land and seasons is so intense as to be part of the story and there are scenes one will never forget. . A complicated and evocative exposition of the transience of life. * Harper’s *
A true American original. * Newsweek *
McCarthy puts most other American writers to shame. His work itself repays the tight focus of his attention with its finely-wrought craftsmanship and its ferocious energy * New York Times Book Review *
McCarthy is a master stylist, perhaps without equal in American letters . . . In his hands, everything is done with consummate skill – a kind of maximalism with precision crafting * Village Voice *
No other novelist in America seems to have looked the work of Faulkner in the eye without blinking and lived to write in his spirit without sounding like a parody of the master * Dallas Morning News *
