Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Brought to the screen by Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner) and starring Michael Fassbender, The Counselor is an original screenplay from the legendary author of No Country for Old Men and The Road, Cormac McCarthy. 'McCarthy has delivered a brutal study in grief' Empire, on the film A man, unnamed, wants to be rich. So entranced is he by this need, and the desire to impress his fiancee, that he works his contacts to become involved in a high-risk game: drug-smuggling across the US-Mexico border. His contacts in the cocaine trade are mysterious, corrupt and seductive. They speak of a device called 'the bolito' which, around the neck of its victim, constricts and decapitates. They warn of the Mexican cartels, whose brutality is without mercy. And so it is, as the action crosses into Mexico, the Counselor's life becomes darker, more violent and more sexually disturbing than he had imagined possible. Deft and shocking, The Counselor is a tale of the treacherous balance between risk and consequence. '[A] great, misunderstood film' Esquire, on the film Praise for Cormac McCarthy: McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren 'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series '[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Professing Darkness confirms the centrality of Catholic thought, imagery, and sacrament to the spiritual and ethical outlook of the work of Cormac McCarthy and, more specifically, its consistent assessment of Enlightenment values and their often-catastrophic realization in American history. D. Marcel DeCoste surveys McCarthy's fiction from both his Tennessee and Southwest periods, with chapters devoted to eight of his published novelsfrom Outer Dark to The Roadand a conclusion that examines the writer's screenplay for The Counselor and the duology of The Passenger and Stella Maris. DeCoste's attentive, wide-ranging interpretations demonstrate that McCarthy's work mounts a sustained critique of core Enlightenment ideals and their devastating results in the American context, especially for Indigenous peoples, the environment, the viability of community, and the integrity of a self irreducible to the status of a commodity. Professing Darkness shows that Roman Catholic understandings of Penance and Eucharist, along with specific Catholic teachingssuch as those regarding the goodness of Creation, the nature of evil, the insufficiency of the self, and the radical invitation to conversionenable McCarthy's revelatory engagement with American Enlightenment. An important contribution to the ever-expanding critical literature on a towering contemporary author, Professing Darkness offers an innovative reading of both the spiritual and political valences of McCarthy's writing. Confirms the centrality of Catholic thought, imagery, and sacrament to the spiritual and ethical outlook of the work of Cormac McCarthy and, more specifically, its consistent assessment of Enlightenment values and their often-catastrophic realization in American history.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. First edition. More powerful than No Country For Old Men, yes, this is no ordinary screenplay but a work of extraordinary imagination which draws on many of the themes of McCarthy's work as well as taking it to new dark places. It is also written with great descriptive passages counteracting the dialogue, so the reader is given the full experience of the McCarthy prose. It is the story of a lawyer, the Counselor, a man who is so seduced by the desire to get rich, that he becomes involved in a drug-smuggling venture that quickly takes him way out of his depth. The film, released in October of 2013 was directed by Ridley Scott and stars Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. A fine copy in black cloth over boards with gilt spine stamping in a fine dust jacket.
