No Place for Home - Spatial Constraint Character Flight in Novels of Cormac Mccarthy

Zusatztext "Ultimately! the real achievement of the critic [Ellis]is his ability to take earthy material and underline for his readers the scope of its most heartening impacts." -- Craig Monk! The Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature! Volume 62! Number 1! Spring 2008 Informationen zum Autor Jay Ellis Klappentext This book was written to venture beyond interpretations of Cormac McCarthy's characters as simple, antinomian, and non-psychological; and of his landscapes as unrelated to the violent arcs of often orphaned and always emotionally isolated and socially detached characters. As McCarthy usually eschews direct indications of psychology, his landscapes allow us to infer much about their motivations.
