Explanation As Books Outer Dark
This is my third Cormac McCarthy book. First one was The Road, which is without a doubt one of the best books I ever read, it had a great impact on me. Second was No country for old men, after seeing the movie and discovering this story was also written by McCarthy I felt the need to read the story too to fully grasp its meanings. McCarthy writes dark, incredible, fascinating stories, Outer Dark is no exception. I find his writing and style very powerful, very expressive, beautiful, clear sentences, language and descriptions and the stories are so fascinating and always food for thought, I am a big fan of Cormac McCarthy now. This book leaves you thinking... what does this all mean, and it stays in your mind. I'm sure I will want to keep rereading his books. This man is a great writer. So glad I discovered his talents last year with The Road. Next McCarthy book is on my list to read, but after a break and some other books. This book has to sink in first and first I need some lighter reads before starting the next one. However, looking forward to it already.

3.5/5 The ancestors had called Europeans the orphan people and had noted that as with orphans taken in by selfish or coldhearted clanspeople, few Europeans had remained whole. They failed to recognize the earth was their mother. Europeans were like their first parents, Adam and Eve, wandering aimlessly because the insane God who had sired them had abandoned them.-Leslie Marmon Silko, Almanac of the Dead I will always be a fan of McCarthy because of his treatment of the "Western" tradition.Absolute pleasure to read. Artistic perfection. The book and the author are classics!Update after second reading. A horrible and violent story, beautifully written. No happy ending.
With this story, the author shows us that two people who have been able to get closer to their being, separate to follow parallel paths. Finally, a lesson in ordinary life but inscribed in an unknown setting.Through the play of symbols, the rhythm of the story, episodes of discoveries we seek as characters to know the rest ... the end of the journey in this universe full of dishonesty and disappointment.A very modern novel, and very nice.
I wasn't sure about this book. I read "All the Pretty Horses" many years ago and didn't care for it. I tried "Suttree" and put it down after a couple of chapters. I liked "The Orchard Keeper", but it wasn't his typical dark, dark themes.But maybe this one came along at just the right time in my evolution as a reader. Despite the violence and sadness, despite the intentionally evil actions of some and the wrong actions of others that were committed in innocence, this book became for me an
As though Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire focused intently on the concentration of forces at issue in the moment of "the things I do for love." I've read enough McCarthy to understand, I think, that his prose is almost tediously spartan for nine parts and then will bust a sudden swagger of rhetorgasm, as perhaps suggested by prior remarks on Blood Meridian.Some examples (in addition to the quotations in the status updates):Early foreshadowing in "the trees reared like enormous androids provoked

I read this in one day as it was that good. I was afraid that it was going to be a really dark read with a lot of violence, and not to say that it didn't have some moments, but it was no worse than "All the Pretty Horses." So, my next book by him will be "Blood Meridian." Might as well delve into the real darkness.It reminded me somewhat of his book "The Road" but only in that Holmes was out looking for his sister who was roaming the country trying to find their baby, and in their search they
