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.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'Remarkable... a staggering achievement.'- The Scotsman
'His sentences have the solidity of stones and the clarity of diamonds.'- The Financial Times
'A true work of literature... If McCarthy's goal was for these books to haunt readers long after they are set aside,then he has succeeded.'- LA Review of Books
'Remarkable... (Stella Maris) harmonises both sadly and gorgeously with its recent predecessor. Side by side,both novels affirm the extraordinary poetry and strangeness of McCarthy's vision.'- The Sydney Morning Herald
