coneyboro 's review for:
Stella Maris
by Cormac McCarthy
I picked this up not realising that it is a 'coda' to The Passenger that I have not read. There are many ideas here that I could have spent some time trying to understand. Found some of the thoughts on the unconscious interesting but was lost in the mathematics. I did look up some of the people mentioned - mathematicians and philosophers - that Alicia is meant to have read or worked with. McCarthy himself was obviously immersed in these topics but that doesn't necessarily make for a readable novel.
Didn't really work for me as a standalone book, and hasn't made me want to read The Passenger.
