Child of God by Cormac McCarthy, 197 pages
Lester Ballard: orphan, bully, vagrant, looking for love in all the wrong places.
Lester Ballard: troglodyte, serial killer, necrophile, "a child of God much like yourself perhaps."
One of McCarthy's earliest novels, Child of God is a powerful tale told in what would soon become his trademark style - simple, brutal, and direct.
