The Evolving Project of Cormac McCarthy presents eleven essays of original scholarship that undertake a programmatic reassessment of McCarthy's literary and philosophical worldview. Examining issues of race, morality, history, metaphysics, law, economics, and ecology in McCarthy's writing reveals how these themes intersect in an overarching, positive gesture that characterizes his work. Taken together, the essays offer a more expansive understanding of McCarthy's critique of contemporary society, while providing new clarity on his vision of alternate ways of living and community beyond their present life-denying manifestations.

This volume marks a new chapter in the long-standing debate between Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault regarding argumentative methods and their political implications. The essays chart the undertheorized dialogue between the two philosophers on questions of life, death, punishment, and power—an untapped point of departure from which we might continue to read the convergence and divergence of their work. What possibilities for political resistance might this dialogue uncover? And how might they relate to contemporary political crises?With the resurgence of fascism and authoritarianism across the globe, the rise of white supremacist and xenophobic violence, and the continued brutality of state-sanctioned and extrajudicial killings by police, border patrols, and ordinary citizens, there is a pressing need to critically analyze our political present. These essays bring to bear the critical force of Derrida's and Foucault's biopolitical thought to practices of mass incarceration, the death penalty, life without parole, immigration and detention, racism and police violence, transphobia, human and animal relations, and the legacies of colonization. At the heart of their biopolitics, the volume shows, lies the desire to deconstruct and resist in the name of a future that is more just and less policed. It is this impulse that makes reading their work together, at this moment, both crucial and worthwhile.

Leading scholars take stock of McCarthy's final novels, illuminating the arc of his career, influence, and legacyNew Perspectives on Cormac McCarthy provides the first full-scale scholarly assessment of McCarthy's The Passenger and Stella Maris. While marked by McCarthy's unmistakable literary style, these novels deviate from his previous works. Focusing on mathematics and science, and venturing into new genres and locales, McCarthy's last novels showcase his most developed and complex meditations on the nature of life and human consciousness. The essays in this volume chart unexpected paths through McCarthy's work by engaging the reader through topics including the writer's style and literary influences; quantum entanglement and mathematical topos theory; and the ecological, institutional, and ethical bounds of his engagement with themes of history, capitalism, and psychiatry. Compiled altogether, the contributors invite readers to question, explore, and speculate—at times in quite radical ways—about how to read McCarthy's work as a whole.
