The Passenger

Author: Cormac McCarthy

Haunting and enigmatic, McCarthy’s latest masterpiece plunges readers into a world of existential dread. Bobby Western, a salvage diver, becomes entangled in a mystery that defies explanation. As he grapples with his past and the specter of his genius sister, the narrative unfolds like a fever dream. McCarthy’s prose is as sparse and poetic as ever, painting a bleak yet mesmerizing portrait of a man adrift in a universe indifferent to human suffering. A challenging, thought-provoking read that lingers long after the final page.

The things we love, the things that make us who we are, are always the first to go.
