Hey y'all,
I know a good number of you read McCarthy, and I'd like to utilize him for the two English 104 classes I'm teaching in the spring. Unfortunately, I've yet to read any of his work, and the book order sheets need turned in by Monday. So while I'm going in blind, what's the ultimate McCarthy book to teach?
The other books in the course will be Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, and Ian McEwan's Atonement; the theme figures to be something along the lines of narrative, trauma, and identity... hopefully, that is enough for you to work with.
Last time I assigned a book I was reading along with the class, it was McEwan, so I seem to have pretty good success so far...
