What They're Saying
Critics Review
Remarkable… a staggering achievement * Scotsman *
His sentences have the solidity of stones and the clarity of diamonds * Financial Times *
A true work of literature… If McCarthy’s goal was for these books to haunt readers long after they are set aside, then he has succeeded. * LA Review of Books *
Remarkable… [Stella Maris] harmonises both sadly and gorgeously with its recent predecessor. Side by side, both novels affirm the extraordinary poetry and strangeness of McCarthy’s vision * Sydney Morning Herald *
Like Bach’s concertos, these triumphant novels depart the realm of art and encroach upon science, aimed at some Platonic point beyond our reckoning where all spheres converge * TIME *
Great additions to McCarthy’s already outstanding oeuvre and proof that the mind of one of our greatest living writers is as sharp as it has ever been. * NPR *
