Cormac McCarthy
One of America’s most celebrated novelists, Cormac McCarthy announced his towering presence on the literary stage with his first novel, The Orchard Keeper. Within the pages of this classic work, John Wesley Rattner, his uncle Ather, and bootlegger Marion Sylder find their lives dangerously entwined in pre-World War II Tennessee. There, the men’s tragedies and struggles are mirrored by the looming specter of industrialization.

Less than usual

As a side note, I appreciated the narrators voice and characterizations but I felt that the story was read in much too run-on a fashion. I couldn’t even tell chapters apart or changes in location and perspective which added to my general confusion. This may be more an editing issue than a narration issue but nonetheless it was off putting.
