Stella Maris
Author(s): Cormac McCarthy
God. Truth. Existence. From the legendary author Cormac McCarthy, Stella Maris is a masterful coda to The Passenger.
'It's an uncanny, unsettling dream, tuned into the static of the universe' - New York Times
A mathematician, twenty years-old, is admitted to the hospital. She has forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, and one request. She does not want to talk about her brother.
Stella Maris is book two in a duology, preceded by The Passenger.
Praise for The Passenger:
'What a glorious sunset song . . . It's rich and it's strange, mercurial and melancholic' - Guardian
'The Passenger shows that McCarthy belongs in the company of Melville and Dostoevsky, writers the world will never cease to need' - New Statesman
Praise for Cormac McCarthy:
'McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute' - Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren
'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' - Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series
'[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' - Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain
