Negative Positive
Title: (the second star is for McCarthy's guts, not his Vol. 3)
Review: McCarthy's books mean more to me than almost any I've read--anywhere, ever. But praising a fatally flawed book does no one any good. Nor does guessing at the interplay of forces and pressures that occasioned its birth. It's a mess. I thank God for McCarthy in this world of literary lemmings. But not because of _Cities._
