Cormac McCarthy's Last Outlaws: The Counselor and The Passenger

By Peter Josyph

This work is the most extensive examination to date of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist's collaboration with director Ridley Scott on realizing McCarthy's controversial screenplay, The Counselor, and it takes an equally close look at McCarthy's final masterwork, The Passenger. Having interpreted in music, painting, film, lectures, and three previous books the man he calls "our Rhode Island Shakespeare," the author draws on a wide range of sources from theatre, cinema, philosophy, and literature for an unsparing critique of what he calls Late McCarthy, and of trends in recent Cormac McCarthy criticism.
