Krátky popis
Cormac McCarthy plumbs the depths of human degradation in Child of
God, his most brutally violent, shocking work. From the author of
Blood Meridian and The Road. 1960s, Tennessee.Lester Ballard is a
violent, solitary and introverted young backwoodsman, dispossessed
on his ancestral land. Homeless, indulging in voyeurism, he is
accused of rape. When he is released from jail, he begins to haunt
the hilly landscape – preying upon its population, unleashing his
impulse for sexualised violence.Commonplace humanity becomes
grotesque and, as the story hurtles toward its unforgettable
conclusion, McCarthy depicts the most sordid aspects of life with
empathy and lyricism. 'A powerful and talented writer, able to
elicit compassion for his protagonist however terrible his action'
– Sunday TimesPraise for Cormac McCarthy:‘McCarthy worked close to
some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ –
Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren'His
prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its
effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of The
Shining and the Dark Tower series'[I]n presenting the darker human
impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity
of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback
