      Absolution

      • 162 pages
      • 6 hours of reading

      You will soon notice why this book has brought swift and glaring criticism from the law enforcement and psychological fields; as it allows the reader a killers first hand view; unlike anything you have ever experienced, or may ever wish to experience again. Every volume written about repetitive killers has never fully answered the reason why. They give psychological opinions and text book retort; a clinical definition as to one´s mental health, but it is not science that defines humanity, only the status quo. From the first to the last page you will take a passage toward one of the most profound views of the thoughts and realities as to how a killer thinks; his truths; his idealistic perceptions of the world we share... insights you will never see otherwise. As one reader stated, "At first I wanted to get into his head and see what he sees; now all I want is for him to get out.

      Absolution
    • 2008

      Focusing on the cultural and ideological landscape following 9/11, the book examines how various forms of media—including film, literature, and visual art—reflected and shaped public discourse surrounding the war on terror. It argues that this cultural output not only highlighted international security crises but also revealed deeper issues within US democracy. By analyzing the period's representations, the work illustrates how culture served as a battleground for debates over the implications and narratives surrounding the attacks and subsequent military actions.

      Focusing on the formal and thematic organization of Cormac McCarthy's eight novels, this analysis presents a fresh perspective on his significance as a contemporary American novelist. Challenging the prevailing scholarship that emphasizes regional influences, the author contextualizes McCarthy's work within broader political, economic, and intellectual discourses of his time. Utilizing Marxist theory, the study reveals how McCarthy's late modernism confronts and resists postmodern narrative assumptions, offering a deeper understanding of his literary contributions.
