I love McCarthy. I‘m sure this one was really ready for publication with so many unresolved aspects, important ones. (Maybe it‘s all resolved in Stella Maris) But regardless, I enjoyed this. It‘s terrific up front as we wander around New Orleans (~1980). It evolves poorly, becoming less fun as it moves along. It‘s ok for a character to find themselves, but Bobby tries like 3x here. 🙂 Still, I think it‘s mostly an enjoyable read.
