Stella Maris

"One of the best living writers is back after 16 years with two intertwined novels about troubled siblings who love each other in an improper way. The Passenger follows a salvage diver who’s haunted by both his past and his sister as he gets involved in a bizarre case of a missing body. Stella Maris, the second novel, tells the sister’s story, but entirely through her conversations with a doctor at a mental institution. The two narratives are dense, immersive and unique, and they inhabit a bizarre interstitial space between thrillers, literary fiction, love stories, philosophy, quantum mechanics and that particular brand of weird darkness that Cormac McCarthy is known for."
