"A classic American novel of regeneration through violence."-Michael Herr.
That is on the cover of my edition. Regeneration through violence is a classic theme for the American novel? "Regeneration through violence..." I cannot compute that at the moment. I'll see how that "classic" theme plays out in this book. There need be a lot of regeneration to balance all the violence through page 108 I'll tell ya, hoo-doggie.
But I also read, I think in Wikipedia, that there is no regeneration intended by McCarthy, there is no other "meaning" to the violence, that it's violence all the way down, violence for violence's sake, historically accurate, that's the way it was.
They rode on.
