Synopsis

Child of God is a novel by Cormac McCarthy that tells the story of Lester Ballard, a troubled and isolated man living in rural Tennessee. Lester is a social outcast who becomes increasingly disconnected from society as he descends into madness.

As Lester's mental state deteriorates, he becomes more and more violent, committing a series of gruesome crimes that shock the small community where he lives. Despite his heinous actions, Lester is portrayed as a complex and tragic figure, a victim of his own circumstances and the harsh world around him.

Child of God explores themes of alienation, violence, and the dark side of human nature. McCarthy's spare and haunting prose creates a chilling and unforgettable portrait of a man on the fringes of society, struggling to find his place in a world that has rejected him.
