Cormac McCarthy's novel is obtuse but also unexectedly funny. There are passages that will put some readers in mind of A Confederacy of Dunces, with its picaresque style and New Orleans location. Dabblers in quantum mechanics may enjoy a section that will leave most other readers baffled. A discussion of the Kennedy assassination will have the most ardent defender of the Warren Report scratching her head. Through it all is a thread of a brother's love for a sister, his sister's apparent madness, and the dark forces that run the world and run over the little people in it.
