Ends of Reading: Cormac McCarthy: The Border Trilogy: conclusion
This course was available in the past and may be presented again as part of the Basic Program of Liberal Education curriculum.
"Rightly heard all tales are one." We will read The Crossing and Cities of the Plain, along with selected criticism, and, in keeping with the narrator's injunction, we read for the "one story" and with a view toward comprehending the world as a tale.
Students need not have taken the earlier segments of this series.
