“Given the breadth of his corpus . . . McCarthy would seem to pose an unusual challenge for this kind of analysis. Undeterred, Ty Hawkins takes up the challenge in his new book Cormac McCarthy’s Philosophy—an audacious and often brilliant amplification of this form of literary scholarship and an important critical resource for understanding McCarthy’s oeuvre.  . . . [F]uture Cormackians will find much to ponder as they think through and with Hawkins’s McCarthian philosophy.” (Raymond Malewitz, The Cormac McCarthy Journal, Vol. 16 (1), 2018)
