No country for Old Men, stapled to a dying animal, no living nor
lasting form to take other than a dying art, the book is haunted with
death and regret and the ordinary mundane passionate intensity of a
simple life and the nothing gold can stay themes of late romance. Even
the condom under the bed, noosed, its life choked by the hands of its
sordid description as Julia turns on Maria reminds us of narrative's
impotent affairs in a postmodern world.
