This weird writer, with his incomparable devotion to literature, has created dozens of novels and plays. He presents us with a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

McCarthy's novels have a power of feeling and imagination. As a narrator, he is bold and charismatic. His writing is free and eclectic, and the narrative tone of his works is calm and contains the power to move people's hearts. He is good at seeing the world from the animals and plants around him, even the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and presents us a distant world with his unique eyes. This world is all around us, but it is ignored, ignored, and even distorted by human beings. He gave nature a full and vigorous life.
In his world, beasts and even the sun, moon, mountains and rivers are human observers. They constantly examine human behavior - human stupidity, evil and brutality; they also appreciate the immortal heroic epics of human beings and remember the good deeds of heroes. He put the humble animals and plants, the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers in the position of gods, and let the people who think they have privileges think and live according to their way. For the real reader, the result has become less important, the important thing is to follow his narration, to find the meaning and truth of life.
Through his descriptions, what we find is another self. He returns to the human mind to the greatest extent possible, and reflects the true nature of animals and plants in the natural world with a normal mind. The mystery and meaning of it. Compared to other writers, he is an independent existence. We can feel that he is peaceful, gentle, and submissive on the surface, but his heart is filled with an extremely fierce and tenacious struggle against fate. The beautiful idyllic scenery in his writings, the sincerity of life and death, and the sympathy for heroes guide and warm our hearts, make us break free from pessimistic heroism, and realize the ultimate importance of every individual life. The purpose of understanding, and turn to explore the mysteries and truth of life. In his opinion, only those who have experienced such or such ordeals can truly distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and boys can grow into men. These experiences and pursuits from his unique life make us truly feel that "religion is more important than intelligence".
