Title: Literary necrophilia, not for the lighthearted
Review: I've now read most of Cormac McCarthy's works, lacking only "Border Trilogy", "The Orchard Keeper", and "Suttree". I'll get to those presently. This one, however, is another masterpiece and does not disappoint. More interesting than the story of Lester Ballard, the local necrophiliac, is the style McCarthy uses to tell it. He is a very unusual stylist and it is a marvelous thing to read his work, even if the subject is necrophilia. I haven't read McCarthy's works in chronological order, but I am left wondering what is next.
Is the review positive or negative?
