Although it got good critical reviews, it didn't make much of a splash. Now that I've discovered it, I'm on a mission to bring this book to people's attention. Try the TC library. If they don't have it, they should!<br /><br />Cormac McCarthy is a different kettle of fish. Top-notch writer, very poetic, but depressing as hell, sort of a male Joyce Carol Oates. I read THE ROAD and now feel I've done my CM duty. Other writers deserve attention, too, such as Bonnie Jo Campbell.P. J.
