bFrom the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of iThe Roadi and the bestselling iBorder Trilogyi comes a taut, expansively imagined drama about four generations of an American family.b pThe setting is Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1970s. The Telfairs are stonemasons and have been for generations. Ben Telfair has given up his education to apprentice himself to his grandfather, Papaw, a man who knows that true masonry is not held together by cement but...by the warp of the world. pOut of the love that binds these two men and the gulf that separates them from the Telfairs who have forsakeni--ior dishonoredi--ithe family trade, Cormac McCarthy has crafted a drama that bears all the hallmarks of his great fiction precise observation of the physical world language that has the bite of common speech and the force of Biblical prose and a breathtaking command of the art of storytelling. pbLook for Cormac McCarthy's new novel, iThe Passenger, icoming October '22.br b
