About This Item
Synopsis
Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in1933 and spent most of his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee, where his first novels are set. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the Faulkner Award for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968) McCarthy's scarce second novel. Outer Dark was published by Random House in 1968. The story involves Rinthy Holme, who bears her brother's child. Her brother, Culla, then takes the baby out to the woods to die, telling his sister the child died of natural causes. She spends the novel looking for the child while her brother tries to outrun his sin. Although published to great critical reviews, it sold poorly - a modest 2,705 copies.
