often trace the prevailing
.mood of despair and purported
nihilism in the works of Cormac
McCarthy to the striking absence of interior
thought in his seemingly amoral characters. In No
More Heroes, however,
Lydia R.
Cooper argues that
though McCarthy limits inner revelations, he never
eliminates them entirely. In certain crucial cases,
he endows his characters with ethical decisions and
attitudes, revealing a strain of heroism exists in his
otherwise violent and apocalyptic world.
Cooper evaluates all of McCarthy s work to
date, carefully exploring the range of his narrative
techniques. The writer s overwhelmingly distant,
omniscient third-person narrative rarely shifts to
a more limited voice. When it does deviate, how¬
ever, revelations of his characters consciousness
unmistakably exhibit moral awareness and ethical
behavior. The quiet, internal struggles of moral men
such as John
Grady Cole
in the Border Trilogy and
the father in The Road demonstrate an imperfect
but very human heroism.
Even when the writing moves into the minds
of immoral characters, McCarthy draws attention
to the characters humanity, forcing the perceptive
reader to identify with even the most despicable
representatives of the human race. Cooper shows
that this rare yet powerful recognition of common¬
ality and the internal yearnings for community and
a commitment to justice or compassion undeniably
exist in McCarthy s work.
No More Heroes directly addresses the essential
question about McCarthy s brutal and morally
ambiguous universe and uncovers poignant new
answers.
