A review by jeremymorrison
Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy

4.0

Alicia Western, former child protégé, checks herself into a mental health clinic called Stella Maris (a reference to both the north star and Madonna). There she allows herself to be interviewed by a psychiatrist who has access to the files from her lifelong therapy sessions. The dialogue, which is the text of the novel, circles many people hemes including the idea that mathematics has no connection to reality and the frustrated sexual and emotional love Alicia has for her older brother Bobby.
