Lester Ballard of rural (very rural) Tennessee. Falsely accused of rape early on. Guilty of other transgressions later. What to make of McCarthy's gothic vision of this lonely, violent and depraved "child of God"? Beautiful prose, naturally. (Not going to let the subject matter affect my rating, though this is no territory I want to revisit.)
