Cheio de momentos frugais, o livro traz os últimos dias de um homem em fuga da realidade que tanto o abomina, para poder então, passar seus tenros dias em meio a cadáveres em decomposição. Vestido de suas carnes, fazendo amor com suas carcaças, Ballard se mostra um protagonista que encontrou em seu subterfúgio algo que jamais encontraria em meio a seus conterrâneos.
Linda escrita a de Mccarthy aqui, melhor que em The Road ao menos

One of the finest weirdos ever penned in human history. Lester Ballard is a one in a million character whose ludicrousness is bordering on unbelieveable but McCarthy treads that line masterfully

Quick read and a nearly impossible one to grade. Better than just okay, but so over-the-top disturbing that it’d be hard to call it a 4 or 5 star “good” read. Follows the actions of a psychopathic hillbilly serial killer as he collects his female victims and engages in cross-dressing and necrophilia. Yeah, so there was that.
