pio_near 's review for:

Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy
5.0

The second half of McCarthy Passenger series is a masterwork of Philosophical thought. Framed as a series of conversations between a patient that may be a danger to themselves and her assigned therapist, we see glimmers of the character we met in the first chapter of Passenger. What emerges is a brilliant but plagued portrait of a woman whose life has been a series of disappointments.

The question of who we are and what we mean to others is well explored, and filled with interesting facts and nuances of thought. Great wry wit as well!

If interested, I HIGHLY recommend the audio of this book, as the voice acting is sublime!
