What did I just read? A mother makes her son swear vengeance upon his father's killer. A woman, I am inclined to say, who did not truly know of her husband's deceit, which is a repeating theme in McCarthy's novels.
I am enjoying this book. I swear, if I didn't look at the Internet I wouldn't have known this was a debut novel. The prose is immersive. It is also an experience.
