Introduction to Literature: The Novels of Cormac McCarthy
Paul Strait
WMS 330

Cormac McCarthy is widely considered one of our greatest living writers, a recipient of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, among countless other honors. This course will serve as not only a survey of his most celebrated novels, beginning with The Orchard Keeper and ending with The Road, but an inquiry into each work’s genesis, influences, and development.
