Stella Maris

Cormac McCarthy
Paperback / softback
208 pages

Alicia Western is the following: Twenty years old. A brilliant mathematician at the University of Chicago.

And a paranoid schizophrenic who does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia's psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, profoundly moving companion to The Passenger. It is a powerful enquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and life itself by one of America's finest writers.
