A Cormac McCarthy novel splits a parish book club
Original: A Cormac McCarthy novel tore my parish book club apart
A writer for America Magazine recounts how a Cormac McCarthy novel divided his parish book club, with members reacting in starkly different ways to the author's violent, morally fraught fiction. The piece has struck a chord with readers who recognise the challenge of discussing McCarthy's bleak themes in a church community setting.
Why now: Readers are drawn to the relatable clash between serious literary fiction and the comfort zones of a church reading group.
