About This Item
Synopsis
Child of God is the third novel by American author Cormac McCarthy. Though the novel received critical praise, it was not a financial success. Like its predecessor, Outer Dark, Child of God established McCarthy's interest in using extreme isolation, perversity, and violence to represent normal human experience. Set in Sevier County, Tennessee, in the 1960s, Child of God tells the story of Lester Ballard, an outcast from society. Released from jail after being falsely accused of rape, Ballard haunts the countryside, falling into deeper and deeper crime and perversion. Considered McCarthy's darkest work.
