- Reader reception study analyzing McCarthy s apocalyptic 2006 novel as a neoconservative post-9/11 narrative appealing to readers feelings rather than intellect. Suggests that McCarthy s unique style of realism is reminiscent of Hemingway s, briefly noting how each trigger affective reader response through the omission of key detail, thereby empowering the reader with significant interpretive authority.
