Description
McCARTHY, Cormac (1933-2023). Child of God. New York: Random House, 1973.
8vo. Original cloth-backed boards; in unrestored unclipped dust jacket (small spots of surface wear on front panel, few tiny splits at extreme ends).
FIRST EDITION of McCarthy's elusive third book. Child of God tells the haunting tale of Lester Ballard, a deeply disturbed and isolated man living on the fringes of society in rural Tennessee, whose descent into depravity leads to acts of violence and necrophilia. Through stark prose and chilling imagery, McCarthy explores themes of loneliness, alienation, and the darkness that lurks within the human psyche.
