recommend this book
While telling his story, Cormac McCarthy depicts the most sordid aspects of life with dignity, humor, and characteristic lyrical brilliance.
"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." --Washington Post

What people are saying
I really am an experimental writer, and…experimental writing doesn’t sell…when I look at a novel by Cormac McCarthy like “Child of God,” that is a novel that I love. I thought, Wow, it’s so funny and weird and wonderful, and I don’t think there’s almost any readership for that.
Gabino Iglesias is an author and book critic.
Tweeting 1-star Goodreads reviews of books I love for perspective, day 9: “I think I understand it now. The Road was just a one-hit-wonder. Cormac McCarthy has no idea what he’s doing and wrote that book by sheer luck.” —Isaac’s 1-star review of Cormac McCarthy’s Child of God.
