Cormac McCarthy

One of America's greatest living writers, now eighty-eight, returns with a book - a pair of books, together a masterpiece - a decade in the making.

The Passenger

Eva Ströberg

I found it hard to finish this book. It started all so well with a salvage diver who investigated a plane underwater where one passenger was obviously missing from the list. Who could've taken him?
He got interrogated, got his apartment ransacked by mysterious people, and the story unraveled into his complicated background. His love for his dead sister, and his relationship with the father who apparently took part in creating the A-bomb that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It could have been interesting and promising, but I felt there was so much drivel in the book, and half of the time I didn't know who the (other) character was, and the mad conversations that Alicia (the sister) had with her hallucination were also exhausting to read.
