A review by saintgroovy
Child of God by Cormac McCarthy
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
I struggled very hard with this book, and my discomfort with its visceral content was only amplified when I read the recent exposé on McCarthy’s grooming of a minor during his life. It made the detachment from emotionality in this book far too real, and I won’t be continuing.

You have better ways to spend your time, darkness for the sake of darkness is uninteresting to me
