A review by jryanlonas
Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy

4.0

I should shudder to say that I “understand” McCarthy. At the very least, I sense a wavelength of humming dread in his books that connects with me at a sometimes-discomfiting level. I can’t help but to read him, because he is willing to gaze at aspects of the modern soul that few authors want to call attention to.
