Imagine being a fly on the wall at a dinner party hosted by Vladimir Nabokov (RIP) with Cormac McCarthy and Eminem as guests. Three guys who have faced their demons and lived to share them with the world. I don't know what they'd eat, but I bet their post meal conversation would be enough to shrivel...
Great writing which is what I expect from McCarthy. The story was another of his that took a long time to get into and follows a character you would never wish to know. I find this book a good character piece but lacking the compelling storyline that makes a great book for me. So good but not great.
This is the story of Lester Ballard, a demented misfit that roams the mountains of East Tennessee Appalachia. He wanders lonely reaching for companionship and intimacy in any way he can. Sad story that heads down the inevitable bad road.
