Stella Maris
McCarthy, Cormac
Synopsis "Stella Maris"
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - The second volume of The Passenger series, from The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road - An intimate portrait of grief and longing, as a young woman in a psychiatric facility seeks to understand her own existence. "The richest and strongest work of McCarthy's career...An achievement greater than Blood Meridian...or...The Road." --The Atlantic 1972, BLACK RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN: Alicia Western, twenty years old, with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, admits herself to the hospital. A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she recalls a childhood where, by the age of seven, her own grandmother feared for her; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia's psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and existence.
(Rhode Island, 1933 - 2023 Nuevo México) Ganó el Premio Pulitzer de ficción por La carretera y del National Book Award por Todos los hermosos caballos. Es considerado como uno de los cuatro mayores novelistas estadounidenses de su tiempo. Su prosa densa se encasilla dentro del género gótico sureño por su complejidad estilística y la oscuridad y violencia que presenta. Sus libros La oscuridad exterior, Hijo de Dios y Suttree, han sido comparadas con la obra de William Faulkner y Flannery O'Connor.
