Cormac McCarthy: A complexity theory of literature offers the first sustained analysis of complexity science in McCarthy's literary works. McCarthy's fiction makes a significant case study demonstrating how literature can help us imagine and grapple with complex systems and crises, from global economic inequality to climate change. -- .

Qty:

Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant. -- .
