Child of God -- Cormac McCarthy

<b>In this taut, chilling novel from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>The Road, </i> Lester Ballard<b>--</b>a violent, dispossessed man falsely accused of rape--haunts the hill country of East Tennessee when he is released from jail.</b> <p/>While telling his story, Cormac McCarthy depicts the most sordid aspects of life with dignity, humor, and characteristic lyrical brilliance. <p/>Like the novelists he admires-Melville, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner-Cormac McCarthy has created an imaginative oeuvre greater and deeper than any single book. Such writers wrestle with the gods themselves. --<i>Washington Post</i><br><br><b>Author:</b> Cormac McCarthy<br><b>Publisher:</b> Vintage<br><b>Published:</b> 06/29/1993<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.48lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.12h x 5.20w x 0.55d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780679728740<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Cormac McCarthy</b> is an American novelist, screenwriter, and playwright who has won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
