Cormac McCarthy has quickly became my favorite author. He stands as an
author committed to exploring the darkest side of humanity, in varied
ways, difficult to explore in traditional philosophy. For that, we
explore the hidden philosophical kernels embedded in his works.

17. Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)
In this first of two lectures on Blood Meridian, Professor Hungerford walks us through some of the novel's major sources and influences, showing how McCarthy engages both literary tradition and American history, and indeed questions of origins and originality itself. The Bible, Moby-Dick, Paradise Lost, the poetry of William Wordsworth, and the historical narrative of Sam Chamberlain all contribute to the style and themes of this work that remains, in its own right, a provocative meditation on history, one that explores the very limits of narrative and human potential.

18. Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian (cont.)
The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)
In this second lecture on Blood Meridian, Professor Hungerford builds a wide-ranging argument about the status of good and evil in the novel from a small detail, the Bible the protagonist carries with him in spite of his illiteracy. This detail is one of many in the text that continually lure us to see the kid in the light of a traditional hero, superior to his surroundings, developing his responses in a familiar narrative structure of growth. McCarthy's real talent, and his real challenge, Hungerford argues, is in fact to have invoked the moral weight of his sources--biblical, literary, and historical--while emptying them of moral content. Much as the kid holds the Bible an object and not a spiritual guide, McCarthy seizes the material of langua...

i read ✨Cormac McCarthy✨ and he gave me an identity crisis
I spent the last month reading Cormac McCarthy... I didn't expect much beyond some cowboy stories and wow was I surprised because I could see him becoming a favorite author of mine if I read more books by him and have a similar experience to the one I've had so far.

Couldn't Care Less. Cormac McCarthy in conversation with David Krakauer
Cormac McCarthy has spent the last quarter century writing his novels at the mountain top retreat of the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) in New Mexico, an institute dedicated to the formal analysis of complex systems. In this documentary filmed in December 2017 at the library at SFI, Cormac in conversation with his colleague David Krakauer, reflects on isolation, mathematics, character, and the nature of the unconscious.
Filmed by Karol Jalochowski
Produced by Santa Fe Institute & Miller Omega Program

The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)
In this second lecture on Blood Meridian, Professor Hungerford builds a wide-ranging argument about the status of good and evil in the novel from a small detail, the Bible the protagonist carries with him in spite of his illiteracy. This detail is one of many in the text that continually lure us to see the kid in the light of a traditional hero, superior to his surroundings, developing his responses in a familiar narrative structure of growth. McCarthy's real talent, and his real challenge, Hungerford argues, is in fact to have invoked the moral weight of his sources--biblical, literary, and historical--while emptying them of moral content. Much as the kid holds the Bible an object and not a spiritual guide, McCarthy seizes the material of language--its sound, its cadences--for ambiguous, if ambitious, ends.

The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)
In this second lecture on Blood Meridian, Professor Hungerford builds a wide-ranging argument about the status of good and evil in the novel from a small detail, the Bible the protagonist carries with him in spite of his illiteracy. This detail is one of many in the text that continually lure us to see the kid in the light of a traditional hero, superior to his surroundings, developing his responses in a familiar narrative structure of growth. McCarthy's real talent, and his real challenge, Hungerford argues, is in fact to have invoked the moral weight of his sources--biblical, literary, and historical--while emptying them of moral content. Much as the kid holds the Bible an object and not a spiritual guide, McCarthy seizes the material of language--its sound, its cadences--for ambiguous, if ambitious, ends.

I spent the last month reading Cormac McCarthy... I didn't expect much beyond some cowboy stories and wow was I surprised because I could see him becoming a favorite author of mine if I read more books by him and have a similar experience to the one I've had so far.
