- This book provides a major re-evaluation of McCarthy’s journey from cult figure to literary icon. Drawing extensively on McCarthy’s papers and those of his editor and the latest developments in McCarthy scholarship, it investigates the changes his work underwent and the reception his novels were afforded. The book explores the lengthy processes of composition, the contributions of agents and publishers, and McCarthy’s growing authorial confidence and strong attention to tone and repeated metaphors and images. It reveals the wide range of his reading and research, especially of historical and scientific materials, as well as key intertextual connections between the novels.
