King Cormac's Final Masterpiece?

Cormac McCarthy's "The Passenger" - Books Are Burning! #9

Hello, Book Burners! It’s been a while since the previous episode of the pod, but BAB is back this week with a review of Cormac McCarthy’s The Passenger. My sometime co-author G.J. Villa returns to the show for a discussion of what may or may not be King Cormac’s final masterpiece. During our 90-minute chat my guest and I consider, among other things, the meaning of the book’s title, its almost nonexistent plot, its fascinating cast of characters, and its place in McCarthy’s oeuvre. Press play above for the audio version of the entire conversation, then watch the video version with slideshow on my YouTube channel (to which you should certainly subscribe):

As always, please share your own thoughts on the book in question and let me know if you have any requests or recommendations for future episodes.
