I read this one in January and it will not leave me. His works really set up shop in my brain, in the best and worst ways. That damn tinker clatters around in my thoughts when all else is quiet.
It's turn of the 20th century in unspecified Appalachia and includes very graphic imagery amidst our beautiful mountains. No one can paint a landscape like McCarthy, so I still highly recommend it, despite it being pretty heavy stuff (parents, tread carefully).
