Cormac McCarthy's Violence, Apocalypse and Mimetic Desire

A 2.5 hour podcast w/ McCarthy Scholar Markus Wierschem
5

What's up, everyone? We continue our journey on the Cormac McCarthy course with a 2.5 hour barnburner podcast with Markus Wierschem. He recently released his book Cormac McCarthy: An American Apocalypse, one of the best secondary sources on McCarthy ever written.

This show covers Rene Girard’s connection to Cormac McCarthy, the physics of mortality in Child of God, McCarthy’s scapegoated characters, how McCarthy uses Doubles, and so much more!

If you have any questions, Markus is a member of the Substack, and I’m sure he is more than happy to answer them!
