while the prose is gorgeous (a stunning, unusual voice), the themes are bleak and cynical in the extreme. mccarthy seems incurious as to the causes of violence; it seems that he’s the kind of christian that believes that ontological evil is real, and it possesses human beings, and therefore there’s no point in examining the “why.” maybe the remainder will prove me wrong.
