They are gone now. Fled, banished in death or exile, lost, undone. Over the land sun and wind still move to burn and sway the trees, the grasses. No avatar, no scion, no vestige of that people remains. On the lips of the strange race that now dwells there their names are myth, legend, dust.

“They are gone now. Fled, banished in death or exile, lost, undone. Over the land sun and wind still move to burn and sway the trees, the grasses. No avatar, no scion, no vestige of that people remains. On the lips of the strange race that now dwells there their names are myth, legend, dust.”
Cormac McCarthy’s debut is a good basis for what is to come in his masterful career. Many of the themes in which he comes to touch on throughout his works are present here in their infancy. End times, innocence and the loss thereof, and patriarchal relationships are all present here in his biblical tale in Tennessee. Far from his best work, but still an undeniably great read with a haunting ending, We can return to the place but we can never really go back, we are cast out of Eden never to return.
“And he no longer cared to tell which were things done and which dreamt.”
