Abstract

Bryan Giemza's book, "Science and Literature in Cormac McCarthy's Expanding Worlds," delves into McCarthy's engagement with the sciences, offering insights into recurring themes in his texts and his creative process. Giemza explores McCarthy's involvement with disciplines outside the humanities, particularly focusing on his last two novels, "The Passenger" and "Stella Maris." The book examines connections between McCarthy's work and contemporary scientific discourse, using examples from McCarthy's canon, with a primary focus on "Suttree." While the book may be challenging for readers unfamiliar with scientific discourse, it provides a unique perspective on McCarthy's writing process and offers a critical framework applicable to his entire body of work.
