| Summary: | From his first southwestern novel Blood Meridian to his Ridley Scott-directed screenplay The Counselor, American author Cormac McCarthy spent his career both caricaturing and commenting upon neoliberalism as an economic, political and cultural project. Editor Brian Schill and his contributors explore McCarthy's response to neoliberal capitalism and the Pulitzer Prize-winner's status as a "neoliberal writer" himself. This volume covers the bulk of McCarthy's published writings, including his two new novels The Passenger and Stella Maris, and documents how and to what effect McCarthy's fiction confronts the politics and ethics of neoliberalism and why McCarthy is more prescient in his analysis of political economy than previously explored in scholarship. |
