Kristan's review
The Orchard Keeper by Cormac McCarthy
Finished this book this morning b/f work. not sure why it took me so long, but I did start it over the holidaze. His first book. Strange & creepy. Very Halloweenesque. Makes one think of Jack O' Lanterns, cobwebs & Appalachian secrets. This book is completely different from his latest. It's very decsriptive & nowhere near as spartan. The hillbilly language is aplenty. GReat language tho- & WONDERFUL desrciptions of the seasons. Backwoodsee. Almost "country noir" but written b/f that even became a literary "phrase"
