Child of God
Author: Cormac McCarthy
 
Lester Ballard, a violent, solitary, and introverted young backwoodsman dispossessed on his ancestral land, is released from jail and allowed to haunt the hill country of East Tennessee, preying on the population with his strange lusts. 
McCarthy transforms brushes with humanity - in homesteads, stores and in the woods - into stunning scenes of the comic and the grotesque, and as the story hurtles toward its unforgettable conclusion, depicts the most sordid aspects of life with dignity, humour and characteristic lyrical brilliance.
