Information:	Product details
Price Range:	$7.49 - $10.08 at 3 stores

In rural Tennessee--Cormac McCarthy's home ground--a boy named John Wesley Rattner, whose father has been murdered, teams up with Athel Ownby, an aged man who lives in harmony with the land, to resist the encroachment of the modern world. One of Ownby's peculiarities is the mysterious corpse he keeps in his garden--a corpse that turns out to be meaningful for more than one character in the story. THE ORCHARD KEEPER, McCarthy's first novel (published in 1965), is steeped in the dialect, idioms, and landscapes of Tennessee. It won a Faulkner Award and launched his career as a major voice in American letters.

Pros: Language, characterization, lushness of the narrative

Cons: None for me, but for those who require plot, it is a little weak here

The Bottom Line: If you like Faulkner, you will love this novel. If long and wordy sentences bother you, it is not for you.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: There is a line between what academics and enveloped amateurs call fiction and literature. The line isn t the same for all of us, but there is a line. The closer any author or individual work gets to the line, the more argument there is among...
