NP - Matthew Sharpe's Jamestown

[Ian Livingston]

There is an excellent study, Notes on Blood Meridian, by John Sepich
(U of Texas 2008), that throws light on some of the darker rocks along
the Meridian. Sepich anchors his Notes in historical texts and
contexts and carries it up through psychoanalytic interpretations to
provide a very interesting companion volume to McCarthy's book. There
must be a McCarthy blog somewhere, given the body of work and the
general acceptance of so much of it via Hollywood.
