Allen Josephs Knihy

Exploring the connections between five pivotal American writers, this study by Allen Josephs argues that Cormac McCarthy embodies the essence of literary influence from Melville, Twain, Hemingway, and Faulkner. Josephs posits that McCarthy's work is deeply intertwined with his predecessors, suggesting that his writing is a culmination of their legacies. By examining these relationships, the book positions McCarthy not just as a participant in American literature, but as a significant synthesis of its rich tradition.
