No Place for Home: Spatial Constraint and Character Flight in the Novels of Cormac McCarthy

This book was written to venture beyond interpretations of Cormac McCarthys characters as simple, antinomian, and non-psychological; and of his landscapes as unrelated to the violent arcs of often orphaned and always emotionally isolated and socially detached characters. As McCarthy usually eschews direct indications of psychology, his landscapes allow us to infer much about their motivations.
