    About this audiobook

    A recipient of the National Book Award, National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize, Cormac McCarthy has established himself as the rare author whose every work is a cause for celebration. With this novel in dramatic form, McCarthy gives voice to existential dread and ultimate meaning. "Like the novelists he admires-Melville, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner-Cormac McCarthy has created an imaginative oeuvre greater and deeper than any single book. Such writers wrestle with the gods themselves."-Washington Post Book World

      The Devil You Know

      Jul 10, 2021

      I met the Devil today. He was walking down main street, right by the undertaker in B____, which is a little town near here, and which, for obvious reasons, I’d better not name. I recognized him straight away because he had furry legs with hooves for

      Yes, I like to keep things. Not just anything – I’m not a hoarder type who lines up empty yoghurt pots by the dozen, or buys a pair of shoes every week to feel validated, but I do think that decluttering is overrated. Simplifying your surroundings so

      Diary Of A Country Mouse

      Mar 3, 2020

      THURSDAY, 10 DECEMBER. Giles shows us the sample mice and I am, as if for the first time, overcome with joy. Perhaps when I was a child I had feelings like this—but not in many years. I look, for instance, at a small gray mouse, smaller than the othe

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      This was a very excellent and thought-provoking read. I have never been more uncomfortable and enlightened/unenlightened.

      Esta novela, que es también una obra dramática, juega con las posibilidades de la dialéctica. Un diálogo entre White y Black que presenta dos posturas, la del creyente (Black) y la del incrédulo profesor (White). En este diálogo casi obligado cada uno cuestiona al otro sobre su propia vida y surgen así sus planteamientos filosóficos y religiosos (o la ausencia de ellos). Afrontar la muerte y afrontar la vida, cada uno tiene una postura al respecto, cada uno muestra sus cartas, sus argumentos a favor de su visión. Hasta que la tensión, la opresión de esa espera se rompe.

      Another Dave Robicheaux novel - another sack full of psychopaths in the neighborhood. How many psychopaths are there in lower Louisana anyway?
    • 4/5
      This is number ten in the Dave Robicheaux series. LT says that it is number ten, Amazon says it is number eleven, I'll go with LT. The book has a lot of elements that appear in other Robicheaux novels. There is the twenty year old murder of Jack Flynn, a labor activist who was nailed up to the side of a barn in the pattern of a crucifixion. One of the main characters is Archer Terrebonne, the rich man that Dave loves to hate. In the end, which I will not discuss, he has good reason.Another prime character is "Cool Breeze" Broussard and his father Mout' (short for Mouth). "Cool Breeze" is a black man who is jammed up in all directions. His father Mout' is a shoe shine man and the interaction with the two of them gives Dave the opportunity to comment on race relations in Louisiana. Harpo Scruggs and Swede Boxleiter are cold blooded killers who bring evil and violence into the story. Helen Soileau is Dave's partner. She is one of my favorite regular characters in the series.Clete Purcel, Bootsie, Alafair and Batist fill out the list of regulars.For whatever reason Burke did not seem to do his usual excellent background descriptions in writing this book. I enjoyed the story but it did not grab me the way most of the Robicheaux books do.
    • 3/5
      A little hard to follow, but I read the Robicheaux series less for the story and more for the voice of the narrator and his interaction with the regular characters, Batist, Alafair, Cletus, Bootsie, Helen, the Sheriff.
